Things to do near Lime Mesa Trail
Your Family cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your base for exploring. 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.
The forest glows in red, yellow, and orange.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Family cabin in Lime Mesa Trail.
Winter escapes
Winter is for snow days and cozy nights.
With Purgatory and Wolf Creek ski resorts nearby, plus snowmobiling trails and a fully groomed Nordic track, your cabin becomes a basecamp for snow adventures.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that make the lake come alive in winter.
Spring refresh
Spring is ideal for slower escapes, perfect for travelers wanting calm.
Trails begin to open, wildlife comes alive, and the lake starts warming up for those first outdoor adventures of the year.
