Inn Ouray. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Lake Fork Gunnison River, and Sugarloaf Rock is something you shouldn't miss while you're here. This lake is so wonderful. Alpine Gulch
is a perfect site to spend some time at, and there are fine sites to explore along the Big Blue Trail. All year is a wonderful time in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains if you go for the outdoors. Take a little visit to Crystal Creek
since you're here at Hay Lake; Hay Lake is a nice place to visit for more than one day, Mill Creek Campground is a nice place to camp nearby. Throughout the warm months, highs regularly are in the 70's at Hay Lake, and the night
is somewhat cooler of course, ordinarily in the 50's. During the winter highs are typically in the 30's while Hay Lake nighttime low temperatures through the wintertime are in the 10's. Going for a hike on the Ridge Stock Driveway is always a perfect adventure, and Lake City Campground is a wonderful campground nearby.
