Venable-Comanche Trail

01/12/23

Bring a 4x4 because if it rains it is hard to get up here. It is quite an epic trip to get here. They’re care tent campsites and rv sites. If you have an RV, it can be challenging. There are some slope areas that can be dangerous. We brought the trailer on the truck and it was real fun! There was nobody in site but us. I was able to go on a mini hike. There was water access around the fall which was nice. There was as a little big of snow but it didn’t stick . We came here early May. It is all country here with the best view. You will get to see some real Amish people on bikes

Hike to Willow Lake, CO

Nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness, Willow Lake offers a stunning destination to a rigorous hike. The hike is approximately 9 miles out and back with 2800 feet of elevation gain. The trail is well marked and maintained. However, the hike rarely levels off. Be prepared for a steady incline the entire way until you reach the lake.Along the way you'll come across a beautiful valley, wildfl...

Summit Kit Carson Peak

There are a couple different trailheads that lead to Kit Carson Peak, but the one from Willow Creek Trailhead will give you the opportunity to peak another fourteener, Challenger Point, and let you pass through and/or camp at Willow Lake, which is a beautiful destination by itself. If approaching from the north, go 13.8 miles south on Colorado 17 from the Colorado 17-US 285 junction. If approac...

Unwind at the Joyful Journey Hot Springs

Joyful Journey hot springs offers the full hotel and spa treatment, but in a valley where most people live off the grid, we chose the more rugged experience.The yurts gather together like penguins huddling not far from the springs. The wooden slates offer welcome relief from the frigid valley weather. The dogs snuggled into the yurt, and we bundled off to the hot springs.The three pools range f...

Sandboard in Great Sand Dunes National Park

Outside of the national park there are two different companies that can rent sand boards and sleds for your day use at around $20 per board per day. However, If it is raining a lot and the dunes are too wet, or if the dunes are frosted over both companies will not rent out their boards in order to maintain quality.

Backpack the Great Sand Dunes

Few places can match the epic scale of this bizarre wilderness in southern Colorado. Great Sand Dunes National Park contains 750 foot tall sand dunes (the tallest in North America) resting at the foot of 13,000 foot peaks (the Sangre de Cristo range). However, to really experience the park in its wildest, purest form you'll have to backpack and camp in the dunefield itself.One of the coolest as...
