El Vado and Heron Lakes

Both these lakes are irrigation lakes (as are many along the Rio Grande River) so with the very dry summer of 2011 the water level dropped regularly as they released water at the dams.

Heron Lake is a no wake lake and is a favorite for sailboats.

The colors of the rock layers in the area are beautiful.
