A good deal of rainfall falls at Hidden Lake; the wettest month of the year is regularly March, that's the one that snows the most while June is commonly the driest month. This spot, the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, has so much outdoors entertaining stuff. Good hiking is available along the Conejos Stock Driveway, and a pleasant nearby hotel is Narrow Gauge RR Inn.

This lake is so wonderful. If you don't mind getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Rio de los Pinos, and you can go for a hike on the Posos Trail. There are other places here than Hidden Lake, for example La Grulla Lake, and a great site to camp here at Hidden Lake is Spectacle Lake Campground. Yeah, come here to Hidden Lake for a great time.

whitewater spot in the vicinity of Hidden Lake, and Hidden Lake is perfect enough to spend more than a day at, Ponderosa Campground is a perfect local campground.

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!... |

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
| 11 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. ... |
Rio Brazos
| 18 miles away
This stretch is not do-able to the average boater. It is anything but. The given put-in and take-out coordinates put you through at least one mandatory portage on private property with a less-than-content owner. It's a two day trip, so there is at least one night of camping on private property. The run can only be done when the spring run-off is exactly right, and the V+ rating is not joking. This run is just not done. Go ahead and prove me wrong at your own risk....Note the 40' high waterfall about a mile in from the box downstream entrance. i have fished this many times,and think you would be crazy to run it, not to mention its all on private property.... |
