Winter Park Colorado: Best Things To Do & See

 

Here is a travel guide, (and video above) showcasing the best things to do in Winter Park, Colorado.

Winter Park is best known for skiing, but this quaint mountain town is the launch point for a whole host of winter adventures. Start off your winter holiday with a dog sled ride.  Glide through the twisting trails of the beautiful Fraser valley in your own personal sled. Dogsledding is one of the world’s oldest forms of transportation, dating back over 1,000 years. Not only is it one of the most peaceful ways to experience the Rocky Mountain winter, but it’s also easily the most adorable.

If you prefer a more modern sightseeing experience, then hop on a snowmobile. Winter park is surrounded with snowmobiling trails, crisscrossing across the Fraser valley and up into the continental divide. Breathtaking views and high-speed thrills are just some of what awaits you on your snowmobiling adventure.

If you’re looking for the most original way to sightsee, then head over to Snow Mountain Ranch for a fat tire bike tour. These bicycles have been equipped with snow tires, allowing you to bike your way across winding Nordic trails and single track bike baths—a uniquely Colorado experience.

Of course, no trip to Winter Park would be complete without some time in a tube. Winter park is home to several different tubing hills, each one more thrilling than the last. Tubing is tons of fun for the entire family, and the perfect way to wind down your Winter Park adventure. With so many different ways to experience the Rocky Mountain wilderness, Winter Park is the perfect winter destination.
