Hi Country Haus Condominium Complex in Downtown Winter Park Offers Convenient Mountain Living in a Prime Location

It's easy to see why properties in downtown Winter Park are so desirable - a quick walk to Main Street's shops and restaurants, less than three miles to Winter Park Resort, on the free local shuttle route, and out-the-door access to world-class hiking, biking, and cross country ski trails make Winter Park real estate some of the most sought-after in Grand County. Hi Country Haus (HCH) condominium complex capitalizes on that prime location: just east of Highway 40 on the north end of the Town of Winter Park, the long-standing condominium complex sits on a 25-acre wooded development nestled along the Fraser River and offers convenient…

Soak in Grand County's Winter Wonderland on a Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride

There's nothing like a horse-drawn sleigh ride complete with jingling bells to get you in the holiday spirit! It is a truly magical and festive experience - a unique way to take advantage of this winter wonderland we call home. Snuggle in under warm wool blankets as you tour through pristine alpine meadows and woodlands, drift through crisp pine-scented air, and soak in the beauty of the mountain scenery as snow blankets the ground. Most rides end with hot chocolate around the outdoor fire when you return to the stables, a quintessential way to  wrap up the winter fun. We love this family-friendly option for enjoying the snow at a different pace! 

And it isn't just a holiday…

September Brings the Cooler Air and Changing Leaves: Explore Our Favorite Spots for Leaf Peeping from Winter Park to Grand Lake!

The heat of summer is starting to wan as the cool, crisp air makes its way to the Fraser Valley, signaling winter is just around the corner. Smoke drifts out of chimneys, frosty green grass greets us in the mornings, snow settles into the tops of peaks, and we start to layer our tank tops with fleece pullovers. Fall in Grand County truly is one of our favorite times of year. Not only do the aspens burst with vibrant gold, orange, and red, but life seems to slow down a little, making space to take advantage of our high-mountain hiking, biking, and fishing in some cooler temps before the snow flies. 

If you're looking to…

Rendezvous Colorado Offers Sweeping Views and Secluded, Trailside Mountain Living Minutes from the Heart of Town

Soak in the Last Days of Summer over Labor Day Weekend in Winter Park!

As we close in on September, we know fall and all its glory is around the corner. The days are getting shorter, and if you're looking closely, you'll see yellow leaves replacing the summer green here and there. Labor Day weekend typically marks the unofficial end of summer: school starts, weekly seasonal events come to an end, and local businesses adjust their hours of operation as we settle into a slower pace here in Grand County.

But if you're in town over the holiday, there are still plenty of events and outdoor opportunities to close out the summer season! We really think Labor Day weekend doesn't get much better than it does in Grand County. This year, the long…

Big Snows, Bluebird Days + A Calendar Full of Events Make Winter Park Your Go-to for Celebrating Spring Mountain-Style

Spring might mean daffodils and tank tops in other parts of the country. Here in Grand County, we live it up with après skis on a patio or soaking in the view of the "Bear Claw" while kick backed in a sun chair outside Lunch Rock. But we might be wearing tank tops (and snow pants) if that mountain sun is hitting just right!

Spring in the high country is about as good as it gets. As we thaw out from winter, the enthusiasm for getting on the mountain and enjoying the warmer weather is in the air throughout the valley. Something about the longer days, big snows, and (relatively) balmy 40-degree temperatures brings out the festive…
