     A lake close by is Mirror Lake; wonderful hiking is available along the Bailey Lake Trail. Paradise Lake gets very little rain; the wettest month of the year is ordinarily October, that's the one that rains the most while January is the month with the least amount of precipitation. If you need a spot to stay Americas Best Value Inn - Glenwood Springs is a great choice, and Himes Peak Campground is a great campground nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Bear  
   Creek is a nice spot to stop at; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend White River - South Fork.

Trappers Lake Campground
I've been going to Yampa since I was around 5 years of age. I'm not usually too keen on seeing new hotels being established in sleepy mountain towns, but The Oak Tree Inn is an exception. It's a welcome addition to this amazing little town and a great retreat when the snows come....

Jet lake is also located in the Flat Tops wilderness area so no vehicles allowed but is only about a 15 to 20 minute hike to the lake (an easy pretty flat hike) then about another 15 minute hike into shadow lake , about 15 mor into blair lake and about 15 more into crater lake.
Elk lakes are located about 5 minutes from the wilderness area only 1/2 mile to the parking for jet lakes....
