Rainbow Lake is a lake worth visiting. This lake is so wonderful. All through the long summer days here at Rainbow Lake, high temperatures regularly get into the 80's with night lows in the 40's. High temperatures during the winter are normally in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 10's to Rainbow Lake. You just can't picture the amount of outdoors amusing stuff the Sangre De Cristo Mountains has to offer. Camping is available at Lake Creek Campground,
| | | |
| | and if the weather is splendid, you can go for a hike along the Cotton Trail.
Around Rainbow Lake you don’t get a lot of rain; the month with most of the rain is August, and January on the other hand is the driest. Going for a hike along the Rainbow Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region; good water scenery is available at Balman Dam in the vicinity of Rainbow Lake. The Sangre De Cristo Mountains scenery is always beautiful.

so many cool things in one place! The Sangre De Cristo Mountains rules! Arkansas River is a glorious whitewater spot near Rainbow Lake; since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by nearby Brush Creek Lakes. This
is no spot for people who don’t like to have fun. In case you don’t have a problem getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Arkansas River; since you're here you can take a hike along the Crossover Trail. The panorama
of Baldy Peak from Rainbow Lake is gorgeous, and why not camp at Bighorn Rv Park if you're here at Rainbow Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. A glorious nearby hotel is AppleLodge Bed And Breakfast, and of course, this is a splendid region for folks who like lakes, Balman Reservoir is a lake around here.

South Crestone Lake
 | 14 miles away
Trail is awful, disappearing and reappearing every now and again. Thorn bushes and trash cover what little trail is easy to navigate. Trail disappears completely before you actually reach the lake. Also it appears that an axe murderer has taken up residence in the upperwoods. Be careful and travel in large groups if you plan to try and make it to the lake. It is easy to get lost so mark your trail well.... |
