How to Make the Most of a Winter Visit to Grand Lake Lodge!

Nestled in Rocky Mountain National Park and surrounded by the jagged mountain peaks of the Continental Divide, you will find the picture-perfect backdrop to start your winter getaway.

At Grand Lake Lodge, you can take time to appreciate the quiet, incredible natural scenery and venture to hike to the Green Mountain Trail to Big Meadows. The park is also one of the best spots for viewing wildlife such as elk, moose, fox, and various bird species.

Just down the street at the Grand Lake Nordic Center, you can enjoy a night ski event, where locals and tourists gather to enjoy torch-lit trails and a bonfire featuring adult beverages.

Did you know? Grand Lake is also known as the “Snowmobiling Capital of Colorado,” so it’s a great winter destination to satisfy your need for adrenaline or pick up a new skill. Check out Snowmobile Rentals
