Someone had told us that the Tri-Lakes area is a nice place to go for a quick day trip so yesterday afternoon we decided to go take a look at them. It's only about 25-ish miles from here and we knew where it was because we have driven by it several times going up and down I-25 on our travels to other places.
Tri-Lakes has three small towns that make up the area: Monument, Palmer Lake and Woodmoor. And each of the towns has a lake: Monument Lake, Palmer Lake and Lake Woodmoor. The first lake we went to was Palmer Lake. It was pretty small and very crowded. That didn't surprise us too much because it was a Sunday and it was a beautiful day. There were lots of people fishing on the banks so I suppose it is a good place to catch dinner.

The next lake we went to was Lake Woodmoor.
The last one we went to was Monument Lake. It is the biggest of the three.
All three towns were pretty small but all of them had several restaurants, cafes and small hotels in each of them that cater to the tourists that come through. It was a enjoyable way to spend the afternoon.
