The lake was small enough to traverse but big enough to keep us entertained. The surroundings are just beautiful and I even enjoyed paddling out and just laying on my paddle board meditatively. This was a big highlight of our 2wk trip to CO-- Don't forget sunscreen!

Never in that area of CO before and was hoping for a good time with my son in law at a time of year not that active normally.

What a great day that became a true highlight for us. You can't wrong with WCA and especially Dave Gravely!

Truly magnificent. The lower trail is easy for all levels, it has stable footing and minimal…read moreelevation changes, yet still offers beautiful views of the creek, and waterfalls along steel walkways and short trail. There are also stairs to near bottom of the waterfall. The high bridge trail is much more challenging, although one can opt to only climb the stair portion for a better view of Ouray and a little cardio. At the top of the stairs there is a small shelter, if you're feeling the altitude at this point it's a good idea not to continue further, as the trail continues to climb and there are no stairs/structure. There is a cable above the trail in sections for stability, and cables below some sections for safety. I'd guess the top of the stairs is a little less than half way to the high bridge. The bridge is a very sturdy structure, over a steep narrow gorge, the views of Box Cañon, the creek, waterfall, and town below are breathtaking. There is a hallway-like tunnel on the far side of the bridge, which is part of the perimeter trail. It's low in some spots but walkable, and offers some shade and cooling after the climb. The trail was drub when we went, it would be significantly more challenging/difficult with any moisture or icy conditions.

I had an awesome time visiting box canyon waterfall while in Ouray! I came with my husband and…read moretoddler children. They absolutely loved it! Great for all ages. The waterfall was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It was super loud inside of the canon which made it all the more exciting. Check out both the lower and upper box canon falls trails. The lower falls trail gets very close to the waterfall, we were getting wet from the spray we were so close. The upper trail has a great view of Ouray and a fun bridge to cross that leads into a tunnel. It is $7 for each adult, but super seniors, military, and children under 4 are free! No dogs allowed in the park. I don't think the dogs would want to come anyway with the metal bridges and aggressively loud waterfall. If you are in Ouray in the summertime this needs to be on your itinerary!

I recently went fishing at DeWeese Reservoir, and man is it beautiful. It's in a secluded spot with…read morebeautiful mountains all around. It's quite a drive, but definitely worth it. I don't think the reservoir is stocked with fish, or at least it doesn't seem like it. Regardless, we managed to catch 3 trout and see a tiger muskie (possibly) skimming along looking for its next meal. We were able to pull right up next to the water, and there were flat spots for our chairs. Someone had made a fire pit in the area, too. The only thing that might deter from the peacefulness of the setting is that there is a firing range close to the mountains, so all their shots echoed off. It wasn't too bad, except for the kids constantly asking what that noise was. In all, I wouldn't mind coming back.

I've fished almost every river/stream in the Denver area, but I wanted to extend my range and find some new water. I stopped into ArkAnglers to buy a map and get some local insight.

I went to the places he pointed out and fished the flies he recommended, and had an awesome, very productive day. Don went WAAAAAY above-and-beyond to help make my "first time on the Arkansas" adventure super. Thanks ArkAnglers and especially Don -- HIGHLY recommended !!!

The restaurant is famous in this area. They have a brand new gift shop, ice cream shop, serving bluebell ice cream, (which is my wife's favoriite), and a terrific coffee shop.
