Things To Do

Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park's 415 square miles (265,807 acres) encompasses a spectacular range of mountain environments. From meadows found in the montane life zone to glistening alpine lakes and up to the towering mountain peaks, there is something for everyone to discover. Along the way explore over 300 miles of hiking trails and incredible wildlife viewing.

Trail Ridge Road

Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park's heavily traveled highway to the sky, inspired awe before the first motorist ever traveled it. "It is hard to describe what a sensation this new road is going to make," predicted Horace Albright, director of the National Park Service, in 1931 during the road's construction. "You will have the whole sweep of the Rockies before you in all directions."

Adams Falls

Adams Falls is a towering waterfall in Rocky Mountain National Park that eventually feeds into Grand Lake. The rushing waterway was named after Jay E. Adams, an earlier settler of the town. Because of its ease of access and beautiful views, Adams Falls is one of the most popular attractions in Grand County.

Kauffman House Museum

The Kauffman House is a rustic log house in Grand Lake, Colorado that functioned as a hotel from its construction in 1892 to 1973. It was built by Ezra Kauffman, a local prospector, trapper and builder of log structures who operated it as a hotel until his death in 1920 at age 71. It was then operated as a summer hotel by his widow and daughters until World War II.

Water and Sports around Grand Lake

Grand County has some of Colorado's best lakes and reservoirs, most of which are typically accessible late May through September, for sailing, boating, fishing, sunbathing and much more.
