Creek. Virginia Lake is ordinarily a relatively dry place; most of the rain falls through August; February meanwhile is the driest month. But wait, there's more cool stuff to do in the Sawatch Range. There's so much to do here at
Virginia Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Gold Park Campground is a nice place for that; if you've had enough of Virginia Lake, Hagerman Lake is close by. Go for a hike on the Highline Trail, and you'll meet a lot
of folks from Edwards here. What a place this is for outdoors folks. What would winter be without some skiing at Beaver Creek, and there's some attention-grabbing stuff to distinguish at Ivanhoe Dam in the vicinity of Virginia Lake.
Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Sawatch Range. If you need a spot to stay The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is a tremendous choice, and a wonderful place for whitewater paddling is Fryingpan River.
