Hartsel, a small and rather pretty town, has the distinct advantage of being nestled in the arms of enough wilderness to make your head spin. Summer is a fly fisherman's dream come true, with lakes and rivers, one of which, running between Spiney Mountain and Eleven Mile Reservoir, being dubbed the Dream Stream. Gold Medal waters and no less than 3 reservoirs close by to enjoy fishing, boating, swimming and water sports on, will fill your summer days with smiles and blissful memories. When the snows fly, the fun doesn't end either. With world class skiing and snowboarding within a short drive, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and dog sledding up trails and winding paths in the South Park Valley, you'll be far too busy to miss the hay days of summer.
The listings in the links above will guide you around Hartsel on your quest to plan the perfect vacation in the mountains.
