Things to do near Grimes Creek Trail
Your Hunting cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your launchpad for adventure. Grimes Creek 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

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 Hunting cabin in Grimes Creek Trail.
