Summertime in the Rockies brings along a slower pace
and a casual lifestyle. The inspired surroundings will take
you on a journey into the great wide open and teach you all
the possibilities that this mountain paradise has to offer.
From the moment the sun comes up, the day is a perfect postcard
setting. The brilliant blue sky, the warm rays of the sun, and
the fresh mountain air is enough to keep you smiling until sundown.
It's common to see people taking full advantage of this short
season.
Fraser River Trail Biking, rollerblading,
running or walking along the 5-mile Fraser River Trail
that connects Winter Park Resort and the towns of Winter Park
and Fraser is a must for everyone! The solitude and beauty of
the trail offers users a popular alternative to busier routes.
Picnic tables are located along the trail from the town of Winter
Park to the resort.
Winter Park Resort gets busy during
the warm summer months with activities for the entire family.
At the base of the resort there are all kinds of activities
going on. Get lost in the human maze or play a round of miniature
golf. The climbing wall is a 24 foot wall with three different
routes. Don't miss out on Colorado's longest Alpine slide, a
two side by side track with 26 linked turns! The Zephyr Express
Chairlift will take, bikers, hikers, picnickers, and sightseers
to the 10,700 ft summit at Winter Park Mountain. The resort
also hosts an array of concerts and social events.
Golf Grand County has four public golf
courses, Pole Creek Golf Club, Grand Lake Golf Course,
Sol Vista Golf Club and Grand Elk. Grand County will soon be
a golf meca with more courses scheduled to open in the next
few years. The award winning Pole Creek Golf Club was voted
in 1996 by Golf Digest at "the #1 place to play golf."
It has continued with rating as "One of the best golf courses
in the state." Pole Creek is a 27-hole golf course with
a par of 108. Grand Lake Golf Course is an 18-hole course and
offers a variety of golf challenges. Just a tid-bit of information:
the high altitude and thinner mountain air means golf balls
drive 15% further!
Rocky Mountain National Park located
only 45 minutes from Winter Park and is one of our county's
most frequently visited parks, attracting more than 3 million
visitors each year. Enjoy a stunning array of mountain peaks,
76 of which reach elevations of 12,000 feet or more. Longs Peak,
at 14,225 feet, is the highest. Rocky Mountain National Park
is open 24 hours a day year round.
