Deep lakes, thick forests and friendly attitudes define this expansive, mountainous county. Hot springs, outdoor adventure and Rocky Mountain National Park are just the tip of the must-do list.
Volunteer with Headwaters Trail Alliance or donate to Rocky Mountain Conservancy.
Experience the majestic, summer beauty of the Colorado Rockies without bikes, hiking boots or tour guide.
Drive about 20 minutes south to the town of Granby for lunch.
Coast through the air on one of the ziplines that criss-cross the sky.
Hop on Highway 40 for 20 minutes to this spring-filled town.
Head about 20 minutes north for breakfast.
At 265,000 acres in size, the park also harbors thousands of quiet, off-the-beaten path places that most visitors don't know about. In fact, the western side of the park in Grand County is noticeably quieter than the more frequently visited eastern side.
Leave the national park and head toward Kremmling — but you're stopping in Parshall for dinner.
