     There are some great whitewater spots on Wolf Creek; after a long day outdoors Allington Inn and Suites is a splendid location to spend a night or two. Man, is there loads of cool things to do in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Rio Grande, and Lake Humphreys is a nearby lake that you could stop by.
