Why not stop by West Lake if you're passing through these parts. Paddling on San Miguel River is so much fun, and going for a hike on the Weehawken Pack Trail is always a tremendous adventure. So much amusing stuff to do in the Uncompahgre Plateau Mountains, not enough time. There's so much to do here at West Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Polly's Motel Car wash is a fine place for that, and why not take a little journey to Beaver Creek since you're here.

Blue Lakes Trail
 | This description has a few accurate things in it, but the way it's put together, it makes no sense, even to someone who lives here. It jumbles things from Telluride to Silverton in with Blue Lakes Trail. It is indeed beautiful. And you could hike up Sneffels (local 14'er) from this side, if you are fit and up for a very, very long adventure. ... |
