               to offer, you can camp at Highway Spring Campground; you can go for a hike on the Lake Fork National Recreation Trail. This lake is located in the wonderful San Juan and Jemez Mountains.
So much entertaining stuff to do here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, too magnificent to be true. Don't leave Metroz Reservoir without first going for a hike along the Highline Trail, and you'll discover a wonderful lake called Metroz Reservoir. If you come at the right time of year, Rio Grande offers some perfect whitewater, and if you need a spot to stay The Spruce Lodge is a great choice. Metroz Reservoir is pretty dried out usually; of all the months in a year July is the one with the most rain, and the driest of the months is June.
Dry warm beds await you at Allington Inn and Suites; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Wolf Creek.
