Check out RMNP and Grand Lake. The park entrance is approximately a 45-minute drive from Fraser/Winter Park. Drive up to the above 12,000 feet for spectacular views, hiking, and fly fishing. Give yourself at least 4 hours to explore the park.
Great spot for cajun/steaks/seafood/drinks on a patio.
Irish pub with stellar food. Try the Reuben or the bangers and mash. Its so good!
Grand Lake is about ~30 minutes from Fraser/WP and is a great spot to go for lunch. You will go past Lake Granby, Shadow Mountain Reservoir, and Grand Lake. You can rent a boat and cruise Shadow Mountain and Grand Lake. In the town of Grand Lake you will find great local shopping, delicious restaurants, and good views/hiking.
Our favorite place to eat in Grand County. Darcy's favorite is the blackened mahi mahi sandwich with curry fries. Jerk chicken sandwiches, Caribbean ramen, and painkillers are also some family favorites. Kris will advise caution with the octopus ceviche.
