Things to do near Pinos River
Your Cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your gateway to Colorado fun. Pinos River offers something in every season:
Summer adventures
Summer brings warm days and endless outdoor fun.
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 right from the shoreline.
Fall getaways
When the crowds thin out, fall colors transform the valley.
Every hillside becomes a postcard.
