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....

Howelsen Hill
26 miles away
This is a nice low-intensity alternative to all the big resorts around....
