    If you are traveling by, why not stop by Vallecito Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Mineral Creek - South; after a long day outdoors Purgatory Village Condominium Hotel is a fine location to spend a night or two. The San Juan Mountains scenery is always beautiful. Why not camp at Silverton Lakes Campground since you're here at Vallecito Lake, and if you come at the right time of  
   year, Vallecito Creek offers some great whitewater.
So many fun things in the San Juan Mountains, just unbelievable. Some close by water includes Nebo Creek, and you can catch a glimpse of The Guardian from Vallecito Lake. And that's not all you can do here in the San Juan Mountains. The Whitehead Trail offers hiking at its best, and you can hit the slopes at Silverton close by. If you want a great time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Vallecito
