From the top of this steady climb, the commanding view of the lakes region and the towering mountains of the National Park is something you'll savor. If you need suggestions for a good hike try ask any Grand Lake Lodge staff member about their favorite hike in the area. Camping is also abundant in the National Park and National Forests. Designated spots are available along Park trails and they also offer a couple of drive-in camping grounds. Many people also choose to camp in the Arapaho National Forest.
Some people come to hike, some to relax, some to enjoy the wildlife and scenery.
Others come for the fast-paced sport of mountain biking. Grand County offers some of the best trails in the state. The Arapaho National Forest is the place to ride, with miles and miles of trails that will take you to the top of Blue Ridge, among other places. The trails around the towns of Fraser and Winter Park offer championship level trails and some of the greatest single-track in the nation. For those that enjoy the challenges of the asphalt, a favorite trip is up and over Trail Ridge Road.
