DESTINATION

Grand Lake

Adjacent to the Arapaho National Recreation Area, the town is the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Traversing Trail Ridge Road, the highest continually paved road in the United States, it is just a 48-mile drive to Estes Park , a resort community on the opposite side of the Continental Divide from Grand Lake. Activities popular in Grand Lake include boating, hiking, fishing, cross-country skiing, shopping, horseback riding and attending the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre.

Winter Carnival, held in early February, features bed sled races, human bowling, a snow sculpture contest and other events.
