     While you're here at Verde Lake, you could also visit stunning Lost Lake, and wonderful scenery and tremendous skiing is what you acquire at Kendall Mountain. After a long day outdoors Best Western Twin Peaks Lodge & Hot Springs is a splendid site to spend a night or two; you'll come across a stunning lake called Highland Mary Lakes. These mountains rock, just check out all the enjoyable things to do in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Hiking along the Deer  
   Park Trail is pleasant fun; Verde Lake is good enough to spend more than a day at, Silver Summit RV Park And Jeep Rentals is a good local campground.
This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the Brooklyn Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region, and you can take a little journey to Highland Mary Dam since you're here at Verde Lake. Verde Lake is a location that is quite dried up typically; through the month of August you get the
 
               most rain around here, and the driest of the months is June. Any time is a fine time at Verde Lake if you go for the outdoors. A wonderful spot to camp here at Verde Lake is Silverton Lakes Campground; Sugarloaf can be seen from Verde Lake.
If you want a tremendous time in the great outdoors just come on up to the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Dry warm beds await you at St.Elmo Hotel; what would winter be without some skiing at Silverton. Throughout the warm months, highs mostly are in the 70's at Verde Lake, and the overnight is slightly chillier of course, mostly in the 40's. The winter brings highs down to the 30's; through the dark hours in the wintertime at Verde Lake temperatures drop to the 0's. There's just no way somebody can get bored here at Verde Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. Getting to Mountaineer Creek from Verde Lake is simple, and you can run the rapids of Animas River. Verde Lake is right by the Whitehead Trail, and get your heart pumping on the nice whitewater of Mineral Creek - South. This lake is one of the great places here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains.
