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
