Colorado has many beautiful lakes and Wood Lake is one of them. If you came to camp Bucks Campground is a great site to do that, and the South Derby Trail offers hiking at its best. It is very dry here at Wood Lake mostly; of all the months in a year March is the one with the most snow, and the driest month of the year is June. This lake is so wonderful. Take a side visit to Coal Creek, and soar down the rapids of Colorado River in a kayak.

I've been going to Yampa since I was around 5 years of age. I'm not usually too keen on seeing new hotels being established in sleepy mountain towns, but The Oak Tree Inn is an exception. It's a welcome addition to this amazing little town and a great retreat when the snows come.... |
