Things to do near Silverton
Your Summer cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your launchpad for adventure. Silverton 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.
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 Summer cabin in Silverton.
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 perfect place to warm up.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that make the lake come alive in winter.
Spring refresh
Spring is quiet and peaceful, perfect for anyone avoiding crowds.
Trails begin to open, wildlife comes alive, and the lake starts warming up for spring paddling and casting.
