From Sylvan Lake State Park to Vega State Park

 

 

Sylvan Lake SP to Vega SP link

 


 

 

Never been to Vega SP before, but it’s another high-country lake, 8,000 feet in elevation, so it must be good.

 

Honestly, when we got there though, the campground looked a little more open and developed than we were expecting,


 

but it didn’t take long to grow on us.  Obviously, the previous occupants of our site had hummingbird feeders up, because we were constantly swarmed by three different kinds of hummingbirds stopping to check out anything with a hint of red.

 

Then we took a drive around the lake and wildlife was plentiful.

 

 

We saw grouse.  We hardly ever see grouse!


 

We’re close to where Gunnison Sage Grouse live, but I think these are Dusky Grouse.


 

 

White-tailed deer fawns.


 

 

And a marmot!


 

What a dude!


 

Yeah.  We like Vega State Park.

 

 

And now we’re home.  But I’ll still send out a few more Colorado camping pictures.
