Things to do near Lime Mesa Trail
Your Cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your launchpad for adventure. Lime Mesa Trail offers something in every season:
Summer adventures
Summer brings perfect conditions for adventure.
Spend your mornings hiking or biking local trails, afternoons kayaking or paddleboarding on Vallecito Lake, and evenings grilling dinner outside your cabin.
Fishing is especially popular this time of year, with plenty of opportunities around Vallecito Lake.
Fall getaways
When the crowds thin out, fall colors transform the valley.
Aspens turn gold and orange.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Cabin in Lime Mesa Trail.
Winter escapes
Winter is for cold-weather adventure seekers.
With Purgatory and Wolf Creek ski resorts nearby, plus snowmobiling trails and a fully groomed Nordic track, your cabin becomes a cozy retreat after long days outside.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that bring visitors statewide.
Spring refresh
Spring is quiet and peaceful, perfect for travelers wanting calm.
Trails begin to open, wildlife comes alive, and the lake starts warming up for early-season boating and fishing.
