DAY 2 - Suggested itinerary – Activities

- Wildlife, Fishing and Picnic Time
Nearby lakes for fishing, bird and wildlife watching and shoreline exploring. Dowdy Lake is one of the most accessible, family-friendly lakes in the area. The trail around the lake is a good choice - scenic and manageable for kids. Bring a picnic lunch, folding chairs (from the cabin) and protective clothing in case the weather changes. West Lake, Parvin Lake and Bellaire Lake are also excellent choices. A Colorado state fishing license is required for adults; three-day licenses are available. Crystal Lakes fishing is available on a daily fee (please advise).

- Horseback Riding
Consider a horseback trail ride with Beaver Meadows Stables or Sundance Trail for a memorable western-style adventure.

- Scenic Drive
Historically, Deadman Road connects closely with the Deadman Lookout area in the Roosevelt National Forest, a region long used for both recreation and forest management. The road provided early access for logging and fire monitoring efforts tied to the Deadman Lookout Tower, a historic fire-spotting station near the summit. Today, the road is primarily enjoyed by outdoor enthusiasts, but it still carries the legacy of its utilitarian beginnings, blending mountain history with the recreational opportunities of the modern day.
