Bordering Rocky Mountain National Park and home to the “Great Lakes of the Rockies,” Grand County is well known for its conveniently located mountain town, Winter Park. Rising to an elevation of 9,100 ft, Winter Park is the gateway to the mountains west of Denver, surrounded by Arapaho National Forest and three wilderness areas: Indian Peaks, Byers Peak and Vasquez. Voted best ski resort in North America by USA Today, Winter Park Resort is the epicenter of Grand County’s winter activities. Explore over 3,000 acres of ski and snowboard trails, snowmobile through miles of white powder, or simply soak up the famous Colorado sun around a base-area bonfire. As of the 2020 census, Grand County claims a population of nearly 16,00 residents throughout its six towns: Winter Park, Grand Lake, Fraser, Granby, Tabernash, and Kremmling.
