If you are traveling by, why not stop by Griggs Reservoir. Life's too short to enjoy all the cool stuff in the Park Range. Westwind at Vail Condominiums is a fine site to get some rest; Griggs Reservoir is not the only location nearby, Moore Reservoir is a nearby lake. This lake is so wonderful. The scenery at Griggs Dam in close proximity to Griggs Reservoir is wonderful, and a lake nearby is Way Reservoir.
Griggs Reservoir is located in the Park Range. Griggs

| | Reservoir gets very little rain; the month of August is the wettest with most of the rain, and February is the month with the least moisture. What a spot this is for outdoors folks. Have a great hiking adventure along the Surprise Trail; Red Mountain RV Park is a great local campground.
This lake is so wonderful. If you need a spot to stay Evergreen Lodge At Vail is a great choice, and there's whitewater on Colorado River for all you adrenaline people. | |

Wolford Campground is a splendid campground nearby, and what would winter be without some skiing at Vail. Griggs Reservoir is right by the Sheep Drive Trail, and you can run the rapids of Blue River.
So much cool stuff in the
Park Range, just fantastic. Take a side spree to Beaver Creek, and do take a hike on the Eaglesmere Trail. The warmest time of the year brings highs in the 80's to Griggs Reservoir. Summer overnight lows sink down to the 40's. Throughout
the winter this place gets highs in the 20's, and night lows at Griggs Reservoir through the wintertime frequently drop into the-10's.

Gore Range Trail
 | 14 miles away
Well, exhilarating or not, you may want to consider parking your tent and self away from trees. The forests in the Gore and elsewhere in Colorado are dying, particularly and immediately the pines. The aspens are dealing plague also, but of a fungi and bacterial nature. Do NOT camp near trees.......NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED IN MY LIFE! We set up our tents just before dark as the rain was really starting to come down. The forecast predicted a few small isolated showers along the Continental Davide, earlier in the day. Isolated my ass- it rained hard for about 6 or 7 hours!!! It was around 10pm when I was awaken by a VERY unfamiliar loud crackling, popping, and snapping sound. I've never in my life heard anything that closely resembled the sounds I was hearing. The first one that woke me & lasted about 30 seconds, the next came about 5 minutes later and lasted a few seconds longer. This time after the same noises as before ended, there was a horrific crashing sound that shook the area where my tent was pitched. That's when I realized the tree's were falling due to the rain softening the soil around the Tree roots. I thought for sure one of the up-rooted tree's were going to crush me & my tent like a Grape. God must have lent a helping hand because in the morning we counted 17 tree's that fell. One of the 40 foot tree's landed w/ in 20ft of my tent. That was the one that nearly ma... |
Upper Piney Lake

We had a great time hiking to Upper Piney Lake over 4th of July weekend, 2006. Although the views are out of this world, the hike will take everything out of you that you've got. I would highly recommend this hike. Make sure you have everything you need for AT LEAST 2 days. The hike to Upper Piney will take 8 hours (all up hill)...But only 4 hours to get back to Piney River Ranch.... |

At the gate you leave the world behind. Nestled at the feet of North America's World Cup mountain, Beaver Creek is a custom-designed resort with the safe, unhurried feel of an Alpine hamlet. From the skating rink in the village square to chocolate-chip cookies served fresh from the oven each afternoon at the lifts, and from the ''Ivy League ski school'' to the world-famous performing arts center, this is perhaps the very best of luxury family skiing. And there is a mountain of prestigious awards for food, wine, and customer service to prove it.... |
