and get your heart beating on the splendid whitewater of Arkansas River. Grizzly Lake is one of the lakes here in the Sawatch Range. Not much rain falls here at Grizzly Lake; August is the month that gets the most rain; June is
when it's the driest. Have a great hiking adventure along the Fooses Creek Trail; Buena Vista Super 8 Motel is a great spot to get some rest. This is no spot for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. One of the dominant highlights
of the surroundings of Grizzly Lake is Chrysolite Mountain, and Upper Pomeroy Lake is a nearby lake that you could explore. Just can't get enough of the Sawatch Range. After a long day outdoors Best Western Vista Inn is a great place to spend a night or two, and hiking along the Browns Creek Trail is brilliant fun.

Monarch
 | 3 PHOTOS ... from a real Colorado ski area. Abundant natural snow (350+ inches) and friendly people are two of our strongest attributes. You can walk from your car right to the lifts, prices are reasonable, and the runs flow naturally back to the base area. At Monarch you'll lose the crowds but not your friends. Monarch is a family favorite because of great snow conditions and easy access to the mountain. Having one base area makes it convenient to drop off the little ones in the Children's Center, pick-up rental equipment, sign up for ski school and get on the slopes in a timely manner. Lift lines are a rarity and you will regularly find ski runs to yourself. Looking for great powder, spectacular views, 1000+ acres of expert terrain, steeps, trees, cliffs, and bowls? You found it with Monarch Mountain. Check out the 130 acres of hike-to terrain in Mirkwood Basin from the top of the Breezeway Lift. Monarch Mountain Snowcat Tours offers some of the best Snowcat skiing in the state-guests enjoy skiing/riding in closely spaced trees, variable snow conditions and extremely steep slopes. ... |
