to spend more than a day at, LEDE Reservoir Campground is a fine local campground; the Antone Trail is a splendid hiking trail nearby.
This lake is so wonderful. Near Sylvan Lake you find the Ironedge Trail which is a magnificent
hiking trail, and Alkali Gulch is in the vicinity, and is a good site. Sylvan Lake is not the only location nearby, Sylvan Lake is a nearby lake, and don't forget to take a good little visit to Antones Cabin Creek. So much enjoyable
stuff to do in the Sawatch Range, not sufficient time.
This lake is so wonderful. You could also stop at Leeman Lakes since you're here at Sylvan Lake; it's close by, and if you came to camp Adam Campground is a glorious spot
to do that. Going for a hike on the Salt Creek Trail is always a pleasant adventure, and get drenched paddling on Eagle River. Sylvan Lake is a location that is quite dried out generally; the month with most of the rain is July; the
driest of the months is February.
You think that's sufficient? Just getting warmed up. Adam Mountain Spring is an inspiring spot to go to while here, and SilverLeaf Suites of Eagle is a great place to get some rest.

LEDE Reservoir
 | What happened to the water as of 10-20-9? We drove up to catch a couple trout only to find the lake has been drained? ...Beautiful drive up to Lede Reservoir. We started in Eagle and took Sylvan Lake road all the way past the lake and then took a right at the first intersection. After climbing up and around the peak in front of us we were upon some huge rolling meadows that were among the forrests. A slight drop down into the valley on the west side of the mountains and a left turn lead us to the reservoir. It is a great spot with some fishing paths around the water and a number of campsites as well. We continued west to Gypsum Creek Road and a short drive back to the town of Gypsum.... |

At the gate you leave the world behind. Nestled at the feet of North America's World Cup mountain, Beaver Creek is a custom-designed resort with the safe, unhurried feel of an Alpine hamlet. From the skating rink in the village square to chocolate-chip cookies served fresh from the oven each afternoon at the lifts, and from the ''Ivy League ski school'' to the world-famous performing arts center, this is perhaps the very best of luxury family skiing. And there is a mountain of prestigious awards for food, wine, and customer service to prove it.... |

Coveted as North America's top ski resort, Vail is an extraordinary winter vacation destination. Spanning seven miles are seven legendary Back Bowls, Blue Sky Basin and an expansive front side, blanketed last year with more than thirty-eight feet of powder snow. Under blue sky three hundred days a year and with more groomed terrain than anywhere on the planet, families reconnect and celebrate here from year to year and generation to generation. Coupled with the vision inherent in the spirit of Vail's founders, and a modern day commitment to excellence in all aspects of operation, the vacation experience is world class. From the Vail Snowsports School to the activities and festivals, the shops and spas, dining, nightlife and accommodations, Vail can credibly lay claim to being a resort like nothing on earth.... |
