<\/a>Sprague Lake\u00a0 0.75 mile around the lake.\u00a0 There is a striking view of the Rampart to the west.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/a>This trail is open in the winter and the snow is usually packed down so you can walk it using poles and with spiked treads attached to your boots.\u00a0 For those of use who can’t ski anymore it is wonderful to get out and experience some winter.
