Camping is available at Conejos Campground, and there are other spots here than Hourglass Lake, for example Alverjones Lake. Hourglass Lake is a relatively wet place generally with a large amount of rainfall; throughout the month of March you get the most snow around here, and the driest month is June. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. If you're here, you might as well pop by Victoria Gulch; there's whitewater on Conejos

If the weather is good here at Hourglass Lake, you can go for a hike along the Ruybalid Trail, and if you need a place to stay Branding Iron Motel is a tremendous choice. A great close by hotel is The Spruce Lodge, and why not camp
at Spectacle Lake Campground while you're here at Hourglass Lake. Summertime highs at Hourglass Lake generally tend to be in the 60's while night lows are mostly in the 40's. Daytime highs through the winter are in the 30's, and after
the sun is down during the wintertime temperatures at Hourglass Lake plunge into the 0's. Don't stop me now, cause I'm havin' a good time here at Hourglass Lake. Not far from Hourglass Lake, you'll discover Burro Lake which is a scenic lake, and the Elk Creek Trail is a good hiking trail close by.

Bear Lake Trail
 | 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. ... |

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.... |

Opal Lake
 | 17 miles away I was raised near this lake and when a child we had to pack horses into this lake. It is not near any campgrounds, and it's over 25 miles to town, not 18. It gets way colder than 0 in the winter but the views are almost correct. It IS beautiful!... |
