5 (More) Reasons Winter in Grand Park Colorado is Grand:
XC Skiing & Snowshoeing
Want a workout that doesn’t feel like a workout? Grand County Colorado has hundreds of miles of cross-country skiing trails for all levels! Grand Park Colorado has our very own groomed trails perfect for a fun trek and dog friendly too! Park west of the Shell gas station for easy access and access to coffee and homemade treats after your trek. If you’re looking for other trails check out the Headwaters Trails Alliance website for maps of all the free and dog friendly trails accessible by cross-country skis in the area.
Temperature
The beauty about this area is that some days when it is 14F outside it can feel like it is in the 40s. How? Low to no humidity and sunshine! Don’t be surprised if you frequently see people wandering about in shorts or T-shirts mid-winter. It truly is a different kind of cold out here.
Weather
244+ days of sun? You’d better believe it! Grand Park Colorado is home to some of the best weather in the world! Not only do we get snow, we get more sunny days than the most of the United States! When it rains, it is brief and then the sun comes out. Snow lasts for a couple of hours on and off, then back to sunny, bluebird skies! With that said, always remember the sunscreen! After all we’re over a mile closer to the sun…and not everyone likes a goggle tan.
Snowmobiling
Looking for a high-thrill adventure without a ton of exercise? Grand County is home to miles of publicly accessible trails snowmobilers can share with hikers, skiers, and others out and about. Don’t have your own snowmobile? There are multiple places around that rent snowmobiles by the day or hour. Some even offer guided tours to the most beautiful, remote, and extreme terrain found in the area. Great way to enjoy the natural environment, beauty, and wildlife that Grand County has to offer.
