Gorgeous place with a massive lake (it boggles the mind to think how deep it is, too—frozen cowboys?! wow…). Also cool ‘cuz Mark Twain was there.

BTW, I recommend visiting Silver City while there. It’s a little out of the way, but makes a cool day-long activity, what with the old west history being constantly replayed before your very eyes in a functional ghost town (check out the “Bucket of Blood” saloon!). Mark Twain lived there, too. (It was the location of his first job on a newspaper, & he did some silver prospecting there, too. It’s all in his book “Roughing It”.)
