    Do stop by La Grulla Lake while you're in this part of Colorado. La Grulla Lake is one of the lakes here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. While you're here at La Grulla Lake, you could also visit gorgeous Dry Lake, and after a long day outdoors Branding Iron Motel is a great location to spend a night or two. This lake is so wonderful. Get soaked paddling on Conejos River, and hiking is a popular thing to do around La Grulla Lake; Notch Trail is a fine local  
   trail.
You'll really wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the cool things in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this place. If you came for an overnight stay Ponderosa Campground is a great place to camp, and there's fine hiking along the Conejos Stock Driveway. Through the warmest time of the year, highs ordinarily are in the 60's at La Grulla Lake. Once the sun is down it plunges down to the 40's. Throughout the winter
 
               the highs are generally in the 30's while La Grulla Lake nighttime low temperatures through the wintertime are in the 0's.
Spectacle Lake Campground is a nice campground nearby, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Posos Trail. That right there is lots of cool stuff already but it goes on, the San Juan and Jemez Mountains has it all. Soar down the rapids of Rio de los Pinos in a kayak, and Beaver Lake is a nearby lake that you could check out. A great deal of rainfall falls at La Grulla Lake; the month with most of the snow is March, and June on the other hand is the driest.

Spruce Hole Trail
While I have not had the pleasure of hiking any of its trails yet, I look forward to camping in this area. I ''scouted'' the dirt road into the Spruce Hole exit off of the main road. It is very lovely through this piece of wilderness. Lots of healthy pines, wildflowers, and plenty of wildlife too. Sorry I don't have any pictures, but if you're thinking about camping or hiking here... I highly suggest that you do!...

Rough Creek Falls is well worth the trip; near Ruybalid Trail....

Trujillo Meadows Campground
In the 16 years that I have lived in the area, there has never been white water ( for rafting, canoeing, kayaking etc. I presume) in the Brazos. I think you are referring to the Chama River which starts in the Colorado San Juans and flows through New Mexico into the Rio Grande in Espanola ,NM. Plenty of white water there in the spring time....You seem to have missed letting people know about the great trout fishing at Trujillo Meadows. I have never been there that I haven't hooked a big one....

Bear Lake Trail
10 miles away
Bear Lake was surely a disappointment! I'd heard it had good fishing, but after puffing up a long, steep, and confusing trail (we lost our way more than once, delaying our arrival about an hour) we found the lake nearly dry; muddy, and infested with mosquitoes! Next time I'll save myself the bother and fish the Conejos. ...
