What a nice lake Lava Lake is. Having a glorious time at Lava Lake is painless. Hiking along the Sheep Drive Trail is tremendous fun, and the view of delightful Cottonwood Peak is good. This lake is so wonderful. Elkhorn Park is right here at Lava Lake, and McCord Pass is also a wonderful location to discover. You clearly have to love the Park Range.
Lava Lake is pretty waterless mostly; most of the rain falls all through July, and February meanwhile is the
| | | |
| | driest month. Lava Lake is right by the Rock Creek Trail, and you can run the rapids of Eagle River. Throughout the summer months highs here at Lava Lake get into the 70's, and all through summer nights temperatures are in the 40's.

So many entertaining things near Lava Lake,
absolutely astonishing. Take a hike on the Piney Lake Trail; after a long day outdoors Beaver Creek West Condominiums is a splendid spot to spend a night or two. Learning Camp is a glorious local campground; if you need a spot to
stay The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas - Opening May 28, 2009 is a wonderful choice. These mountains rock, just look at all the fun stuff to do in the Park Range. Grass Gulch Spring is a beautiful site to have a look at while

At the gate you leave the world behind. Nestled at the feet of North America's World Cup mountain, Beaver Creek is a custom-designed resort with the safe, unhurried feel of an Alpine hamlet. From the skating rink in the village square to chocolate-chip cookies served fresh from the oven each afternoon at the lifts, and from the ''Ivy League ski school'' to the world-famous performing arts center, this is perhaps the very best of luxury family skiing. And there is a mountain of prestigious awards for food, wine, and customer service to prove it.... |
Upper Piney Lake

We had a great time hiking to Upper Piney Lake over 4th of July weekend, 2006. Although the views are out of this world, the hike will take everything out of you that you've got. I would highly recommend this hike. Make sure you have everything you need for AT LEAST 2 days. The hike to Upper Piney will take 8 hours (all up hill)...But only 4 hours to get back to Piney River Ranch.... |

Well, exhilarating or not, you may want to consider parking your tent and self away from trees. The forests in the Gore and elsewhere in Colorado are dying, particularly and immediately the pines. The aspens are dealing plague also, but of a fungi and bacterial nature. Do NOT camp near trees....... since I've been there but let me tell you I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED IN MY LIFE!

Isolated my ass- it rained hard for about 6 or 7 hours!!! It was around 10pm when I was awaken by a VERY unfamiliar loud crackling, popping, and snapping sound. I've never in my life heard anything that closely resembled the sounds I was hearing. The first one that woke me & lasted about 30 seconds, the next came about 5 minutes later and lasted a few seconds longer. This time after the same noises as before ended, there was a horrific crashing sound that shook the area where my tent was pitched. That's when I realized the tree's were falling due to the rain softening the soil around the Tree roots. I thought for sure one of the up-rooted tree's were going to crush me & my tent like a Grape. God must have lent a helping hand because in the morning we counted 17 tree's that fell. One of the 40 foot tree's landed w/ in ... |
