     Beaver Creek West Condominiums is a great place to get some rest, and Beaver Creek has good slopes and a friendly staff. This lake is so wonderful. Stay the night at Learning Camp, and the top of Chimmey Rock is easily distinguished from Twin Lakes. That right there is loads of enjoyable stuff already but it goes on, the Park Range has it all. A pleasant tour to Big Park is a perfect way to spend an afternoon; there are pleasant places to look at along the Rock  
   Creek Trail.
If you have a thing about the outdoors you'll have a thing about it here in the Park Range. Hit the slopes at Vail nearby; you're probably into lakes, Walters Lake is one of those nearby. Man, is there a load of entertaining things to do next to Twin Lakes. Don't leave Twin Lakes without first going for a hike along the Sheep Drive Trail, and there's whitewater on Eagle River for all you adrenaline rush seekers.
This lake is so wonderful. Piney Peak
 
               Spring is always fun to check out, and going for a hike on the Piney Lake Trail is always a delightful adventure. Twin Lakes is commonly a reasonably dry site; July is the month that gets the most rain, and February is the month with the least moisture. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Blue River; Piney Crossing Campground is a great campground nearby.
If only every place had this much outdoors enjoyable things, what a great globe it would be. Nearby lakes? Sure, Slough Grass Lake is in close proximity to Twin Lakes, and Twin Lakes is not far at all from Edwards. The Park Range scenery is always beautiful. You'll beyond doubt wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Park Range. If you're here at Twin Lakes, you could take a look at East Fork Three Licks Creek, and after a long day outdoors The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas is a good location to spend a night or two.
At Twin Lakes throughout the summer highs are in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures drop down into the 40's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's while Twin Lakes night low temperatures during the winter are in the 0's.

Huge ski resort with tons of great runs. The snow is great too. I like the peaceful scenery as well....

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....

Upper Piney Lake
12 miles away
We had a great time hiking to Upper Piney Lake over 4th of July weekend, 2006. Although the views are out of this world, the hike will take everything out of you that you've got. I would highly recommend this hike. Make sure you have everything you need for AT LEAST 2 days. The hike to Upper Piney will take 8 hours (all up hill)...But only 4 hours to get back to Piney River Ranch....

Gore Range Trail

Well, exhilarating or not, you may want to consider parking your tent and self away from trees.  The forests in the Gore and elsewhere in Colorado are dying, particularly and immediately the pines.  The aspens are dealing plague also, but of a fungi and bacterial nature.  Do NOT camp near trees.......'VE NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED IN MY LIFE! We set up our tents just before dark as the rain was really starting to come down. The forecast predicted a few small isolated showers along the Continental Davide, earlier in the day. Isolated my ass- it rained hard for about 6 or 7 hours!!! It was around 10pm when I was awaken by a VERY unfamiliar loud crackling, popping, and snapping sound. I've never in my life heard anything that closely resembled the sounds I was hearing. The first one that woke me & lasted about 30 seconds, the next came about 5 minutes later and lasted a few seconds longer. This time after the same noises as before ended, there was a horrific crashing sound that shook the area where my tent was pitched. That's when I realized the tree's were falling due to the rain softening the soil around the Tree roots. I thought for  sure one of the up-rooted tree's were going to crush  me & my tent like a Grape. God must have lent a helping hand because in the morning we counted 17 tree's  that fell. One of the 40 foot tree's landed w/ in 20ft of my tent. That was the one that nearl...

... everyone else does it, we're not everyone else, and he meant it. He negotiated a deal to purchase 280 acres at the base and worked with the Forest Service to establish parameters and guidelines for the ski area. Chuck was both a renegade and a visionary. During the summer of '71, initial construction began on the ski trails. Today, Chuck’s dream is alive and well.

As stated in a 1969 US Forest Service report, if there were a mountain that had terrain for skiing it would be Copper Mountain. It is the most nearly perfect ski mountain in the U. S. Over the years, new lifts were added and Copper grew to its current size of 2,465 acres. What was once a sleepy little day ski area is now one of Colorado's premier year-round destination resorts. In 1997, the resort was purchased by Intrawest - a worldwide leader in resort operations and real estate development.

Now the resort consists of not only an incredible mountain, but multiple villages, hundreds of buildings and a million other tangible, moving pieces. Copper is, and always has been, bigger than the tangible. Copper is a...
