What Makes it Unique Located in Grand County and only 65 miles from Denver, Winter Park is situated at an elevation of over 9,000 feet and is known for its easy accessibility to an array of exhilarating Rocky Mountain activities.

Known as “Mountain Bike Capital USA,” Winter Park offers over 600 miles of mountain biking trails to explore, as well as two downhill bike parks that can be enjoyed by all skill levels. In addition, the resort provides a variety of summer activities–ranging from fly-fishing for trophy trout in the Fraser and Colorado Rivers, to whitewater rafting and kayaking, to hiking and horseback riding—as well as golf at one of the area’s four spectacular golf courses.

Hundreds of miles of trails provide access to the backcountry and are perfect for taking in the incredible scenic vistas, waterfalls, and alpine lakes of Colorado’s Arapaho National Forest and the Wilderness areas of Indian Peaks, Byers Peak and Vasquez. Nearby is the ever-popular Rocky Mountain National Park, with over 265,000 acres of protected natural land and wildlife habitat to explore. Teeming with moose, elk, bighorn sheep, and other Colorado wildlife, Rocky Mountain National Park is a can’t-miss destination for any Colorado traveler.

During the snowy seaon, Winter Park Resort features exceptional alpine and cross-country skiing, including more than 3,000 acres of skiable terrain. Plus, it offers a one-of-a-kind scenic journey by train—from downtown Denver right to the base of the ski slopes—on the Winter Park Express.
