    The beauty of Rainbow Lake is reason enough to stop by. But wait, there's more to do near Rainbow Lake. After a long day outdoors The Water Wheel Inn is a great spot to spend a night or two, and Rainbow Lake is in the neighborhood of Deep Hollow which is certainly worth going to. All through the warmest time of the year highs here at Rainbow Lake get into the 80's with night lows in the 50's. High temperatures during the wintertime are normally in the 30's,  
   and after the sun is down through the winter temperatures at Rainbow Lake drop into the 10's. This lake is so wonderful. Near Rainbow Lake you stumble on the Lowline Trail which is a pleasant hiking trail, and delightful scenery and magnificent skiing is what you get at Irwin Lodge.
Rainbow Lake is pleasant enough to spend more than a day at, Soap Creek Campground is a pleasant local campground; going for a hike on the Cureranti Pass Trail is always a glorious
 
               adventure. If you're interested in hydro structures, you can visit Rainbow Lake Dam; there's whitewater on Anthracite Creek - Ruby Fork for all you adrenaline kick people. The Mill-Castle Trail is a wonderful hiking trail in the neighborhood of Rainbow Lake, and if you came to camp Gunnison Lakeside Resort is a perfect place to do that.
This lake is so wonderful. Rainbow Lake gets very little rainfall; October is the month that gets the most rain, and the driest of the months is June. Dry warm beds await you at Rodeway Inn Gunnison; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Cebolla River.
