MESA LAKES AREA and POWDERHORN RESORT
On the northern slopes of Grand Mesa, the gorgeous Mesa Lakes
surround you in spectacular stands of aspen and evergreen. An
extensive trail
system provides outdoor recreation opportunities year-round. Fishing and boating are
summer's fun while winter brings moonlight skiing for cross-country
enthusiasts.
Cottonwood Lakes, just east of Mesa Lakes offers true backcountry
fishing and camping. The Mesa Creek Ski Area is still used today by
winter sledders and boarders.
Just down the road, Powderhorn Resort, with over 250" of snow each
year, brings skiers and boarders from everywhere. Family-oriented,
Powderhorn has also become known as a forest-friendly ski area who
cares about our Scenic Byway.
Don't miss the Mesa Lakes Area during Color Sunday in September -
the colors of the aspen are magnificent.
