Mark Your Calendars for Grand County's Fall Festivals + Events!

Who doesn't love summer in the mountains?! But we just might love fall even more! The cooler temps, bluebird skies, changing leaves, and the hint of snow in the air give us some of the best of Grand County. Trails ready to hike and ride, lakes and rivers prime to fish, summer crowds dissipating, and fun events still in full force, the changing of the seasons here in the Fraser Valley is a true gift every September and October. 

As we wrap up summer and close in on fall this year, we've put together a list of events that can help you take full advantage of the season here in our neck of the Rocky Mountains.

Showtime! Rocky Mountain Repertory Brings the Magic of Live, Professional Theater to the Stage in Grand Lake

Grand Lake's summertime charm is undeniable. Whether you're out on the scenic alpine lake, sitting shoreside, hiking, exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, or enjoying the old-fashioned boardwalk on Grand Avenue with an ice cream in hand, you're sure to be feeling the summer vibes in Grand County's quaint little town. 

And with the longer, warmer days comes theatre season in Grand Lake. Most don't typically equate small mountain towns with a lively arts scene, but the Grand Lake's Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre brings "big city" productions to our little idyllic gateway-to-the-national-park town. The level of production is on par with…

Winter Park Resort: Splashing into Spring Since the '60s

It really doesn't get much better than spring skiing. Bluebird skies, longer days, warmer weather, and slushy snow bring fewer layers, fun costumes, and contagious smiles. We still get those spring-storm powder days, but the higher daytime temperatures give us the best of both worlds. Pull up a beach chair in the snow to bask in the warmth of the mountain sun. Add in a little live music at Winter Park Resort, and you get mountain living at its best. 

The palpable enthusiasm standard for this time of year isn't anything new: skiers have been taking advantage of spring weather, complete with wild outfits and thrill-seeking celebrations, for decades. And what would closing day be without…
