Grand Lake Colorado: Why This Spot Rocks Winter
The Colorado Rockies are one of the most beautiful winter destinations in the world, and Grand Lake is the perfect place to experience all the area has to offer. The town of Grand Lake borders the Western entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, which is home to staggering mountain peaks, and the chance for some incredible wildlife sightings.
During your visit, get off trail with a snowshoe tour, led by a National Parks Ranger. You’ll get to see places that few people ever get to set eyes on, all the while learning interesting facts about one of the world’s most breathtaking places.
Grand Lake is home to tons of wintertime adventure, including the Grand Lake Nordic Center where you will find over 20 miles of groomed cross country ski trails zigzagging through lodgepole pine forests.
If downhill skiing is more your speed, head to Ski Granby Ranch. This off-the-beaten-path ski resort is perfect for families, boasting those signature Colorado views and none of the crowds of larger ski resorts. You’ll want to ski all day and can even stay on the trails past sunset because Ski Granby Ranch is one of the only Colorado ski resorts to offer night skiing.
