Rainbow Lake is generally a relatively dried up site; the month with most of the rain is October; the driest month is January.

Summer brings highs in the 80's to Rainbow Lake with nighttime lows in the 40's. All through the winter highs are in the 20's, and night lows through the winter for Rainbow Lake tend to be in the 0's. No way I can stop, cause I'm havin' a pleasant time here at Rainbow Lake. One of the main traits of the surroundings of Rainbow Lake is Rat Mountain, and close by you discover the Fayville Trail which is a splendid hiking trail.

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....
