               is always a splendid experience, and do have a look at Cox Lakes, it's a wonderful lake.
Glide down the rapids of Conejos River in a kayak; hiking is a popular thing to do around Lower Lake; Elk Creek Trail is a fine local trail. If you want a good time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Lower Lake. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Red Lake Trail, and if you're here, you could also stop by lovely Middle Lake.
