Paddleboarding on Twin Lakes is not for the faint of heart! I would call myself an intermediate…read morepaddle boarder, and this was both a physically and mentally demanding experience for me. The owners were very friendly. We had booked an afternoon session, but it was pouring rain, so they told us we could wait it out and start later. They also do not charge a late fee if you go for over two hours, which we were grateful for because we got lost amongst the islands, and it was a difficult journey to find our way back and paddle against the currents. I was grateful they provided us dry bags and recommended that we bring extra layers. The weather changed really quickly as it was sunny when we started and later became overcast, rainy, and cold. It was very windy, and the currents were strong (at least for me). I also fell in the lake, so it was nice to have dry clothes to change into. Something that did throw us off was that the Google maps location takes you to the office, while the launch site where they actually have the rentals out is a completely different place about a 15 minute drive away, so we had to backtrack after we got to the office and read the sign with the correct address.

Luckily ran into a good samaritan who happened to work at SUP & Cycle. He went above and beyond w helpful tips and directed us to the perfect camping location! He was so nice that we decided to turn back after setting up camp to try their paddle boards. I've been paddling for years in FL. These are some of the best paddleboards I've come across. Excellent condition, stable and super comfy. The young lady that worked there (didn't capture any names sadly) was just as helpful and sweet. They pointed us to an excellent location with incredible views and we ended up there most of the day. These guys seriously made our trip! Can't thank y'all enough! Keep up the great work :-)

Snodgrass trail is a really nice, 5.8ish mile round trip hike. It has a decent incline in some…read moreplaces and flattens back out so I do think it's moderate. There was a good amount of parking right around the trailhead when I arrived at 10:15a on a late August Sunday so no issues there. Only bathrooms available were portapotties but they actually weren't bad/somehow didn't smell. I do want to note there isn't a big "mountain" view when you get to the end; there's a little keyhole view of the mountains to the east but you can also see them at the start of the trail/on the way up. Nevertheless, it's a pretty trail! I'm glad I did it - about 15 mins into it (steepest incline at the beginning I think) - you get a really nice view over Mt. crested butte. Really lovely open blue sky on a nice day :)

They recently renovated their space and it looks awesome! The staff, interns, volunteers and junior guides have all been so friendly and helpful with everything. They are able to accommodate and "adapt" any activity and situation to the needs of their guests with disabilities. There are activities include but not limited to adaptive skiing, snowboarding, snow biking, ice climbing. It's also been featured on Extreme Makeover. I would definitely recommend this program.

When we reached the ice cave I Decided not to risk lowering myself into the cave only because of my foot. There was another guy who had just had foot surgery and also decided against going down into the ice cave only. But he had made it too all the way down the trail . My husband did and showed me amazing pictures. This hike was just beyond words. I took it slow and was careful . There was a breathtaking waterfall . Of all the things we have done on this trip THIS is my favorite.

The ice waterfall you climb is about a 20 minute hike into a park. You do need to carry some gear and the fresh snow made the élan a little tough, but the terrain was flat. Our guide then secured the belay line and showed us how to ice climb. My wife and I have no experience and low to moderate athletic abilities (we are not rock climbers). Swinging that ice tool into the ice and starting your climb is a rush, but pace yourself. It is a difficult climb to the top. Highly recommend the experience. Average athletic ability recommended.

This is a very popular area for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are June through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash Thomas Lakes trail is one of the prettiest hikes in the area, and rewards hikers with some spectacular views and some gorgeous woodland. This hike isn't overly brutal, but does provide hikers with some steeper sections, so proper footwear is a must, and all visitors should expect a long day hike with some challenging distance." 1. there is a dirt lot at the trail head with multiple parking spots. 2. There is a bathroom at the trailhead. There is not however trash cans or dog poop bags. 3. Cows graze off the trail so if you hear something bigger it is possibly a cow. 4. If you are backpacking, it does say a bear canister is required. 5. The road up to the trail especially the last few miles is a little rough the trail i felt like was a gradual climb to get to the lakes. Wildflowers are popping right now! Many beautiful views along the way. The lakes are lovely! Great views of sopris.
