Hiking

Very quiet night at Avalanche Lake Campground. Great place, away from crowds.

Mountain biking

Avalanche Lake is a nice alpine lake located deep in the Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness. Being relatively far from a town, it is a great place to see some wildlife and escape the more crowded areas such as Capitol Peak.
