Need to get away?

You can hear a pin drop! The hustle and bustle of the summer months has passed and you still have time for yourself before the holidays are upon us. If you have not been to Winter Park in the autumn months you are missing a truly relaxing and rejuvenating time of the year. The wildlife is abundant, the peacefulness of the season is inspiring, and the weather is perfect. Snow comes once in a while to remind you that the winter months are quickly approaching but no so fast that you can't enjoy the outdoors to its fullest!

If you feel like pampering yourself, we have many options for your enjoyment. There are many outstanding spas that will cater to your every whim, fancy to casual dining, quiet spots to relax and read, shopping at stores that are discounting to make room for winter merchandise, views that are unequaled!

No matter what you are looking for, we think you only need to travel about an hour and a half to find it all.

Grand Concierge is all about YOUR experience in Grand County!

Have you ever thought of hiking to the Continental Divide?

If you want to experience just a bit of the divide, as you drive over Berthoud Pass you will go over the Continental Divide.

At the top of Berthoud Pass there is a parking area with restrooms. Stop here and walk along the Continental Divide trail to get a taste of hiking in high country.

When you look up, this mountain used to be a ski area but closed in 1994.

Now the mountain is a great place to snowshoe in winter or walk its trails in summer and early fall. Or just take a break while continuing on to Winter Park and Grand Lake, Colorado.

The entire drive over Berthoud Pass is magnificent with waterfalls and an occasional moose wandering around.

Here's a winter picture of the Continental Divide sign on Berthoud Pass

Visit us in Winter Park as the leaves start to change and we’ll help you make lodging arrangements and tell you about the local restaurants.

See you soon,

The Grand Concierge
