Although many winter visitors come to Grand County for its excellent downhill skiing, the area offers an exceptional array of other outdoor activities. More than 150 miles of groomed trails wind through the western portion of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Arapaho National Forest. The highest trail on the system climbs to 11,685 feet and provides breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain peaks.
Snowmobile rentals are available at several locations.
Sleigh Rides Jim's Sleigh Rides, located next to the Cozen's Ranch museum in Fraser, offers horse-drawn sleigh rides through the forest along the Fraser River. Tours pass by the first homesteader's log cabin, built more than 120 years ago, then stop for hot refreshments around a fire in the midst of giant spruce trees. The Stables at SilverCreek offers sleigh rides by reservation. Rides depart from a 19th century homesteader's cabin located near the ski area. Located near Granby and close to both the Winter Park and SilverCreek ski areas, Snow Mountain Ranch offers a wide variety of activities for non-skiers.
