     The Texas Creek Trail is a splendid hiking trail close to Texas Lakes; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Clear Creek. This lake is so wonderful. A lake close by is Cow Lake, and the skiing at Ski Cooper is great. There's just no way anybody can get bored here at Texas Lakes. Mirror Lake Campground is a wonderful campground nearby, and get your heart beating on the delightful whitewater of Lake Creek.
Man, is there
 
   a load of amusing things to do in the Sawatch Range. Texas Lakes is a magnificent site to visit for more than one day, Colorado Dream Ranch Recreational Vehicle Park is a magnificent site to camp nearby, and if the weather is magnificent, you can go for a hike along the Timberline Trail. For the duration of the days of summer highs here at Texas Lakes reach the 70's with night lows in the 40's. All through the wintertime the highs are generally in the 30's; night lows  
               at Texas Lakes throughout the wintertime regularly dip into the 0's. Texas Lakes is a location that is quite arid generally; all through the month of August you get the most rain around here while February is mostly the driest month.
So much entertaining stuff to do here in the Sawatch Range, too delightful to be true. Near Texas Lakes you stumble on the Gold Creek Union Park Trail which is a fine hiking trail. This lake is located in the wonderful Sawatch Range. Lake Ann is a nearby lake that you could have a look at, and if you desire a little side spree, try Prospector Gulch.

The camp hostess, Mary, is there is to help you with problems, and to give great advice.Other than the water problem, this is the greatest camp ground I've ever occupied!...

Monarch
20 miles away
3 PHOTOS
... freeway madness that gridlocks Interstate 70 from Denver to the Front Range resorts each weekend. Located on Highway 50 on the Continental Divide, Monarch is very accessible. It's also one of the oldest ski areas in Colorado, established in 1939.
Monarch Mountain is what you expect from a real Colorado ski area. Abundant natural snow (350+ inches) and friendly people are two of our strongest attributes. You can walk from your car right to the lifts, prices are reasonable, and the runs flow naturally back to the base area. At Monarch you'll lose the crowds but not your friends.
Monarch is a family favorite because of great snow conditions and easy access to the mountain. Having one base area makes it convenient to drop off the little ones in the Children's Center, pick-up rental equipment, sign up for ski school and get on the slopes in a timely manner. Lift lines are a rarity and you will regularly find ski runs to yourself.
Looking for great powder, spectacular views, 1000+ acres of expert terrain, steeps, trees, cliffs, and bowls? You found it with Monarch Mountain. Ch...
