Rafting – Wherever the water is running, be it the Colorado River, Clear Creek or somewhere else, the local rafting guides and outfitters will take you when you want to go.  Click here for a list of some of the rafting companies available in Grand County:   www.rkymtnhi.com/Visitors/info/rafting.html
 

Rodeo – The “High Country Stampede” rodeo happens every Saturday night during the summer. The rodeo grounds are just a mile or so from The Inn.  

Fishing – Ply the same waters as President “Ike” Eisenhower fished nearly 50 years ago, this area was once known as the “Western White House” due to Ike’s frequent fishing diversions. We’re also just down the road from the Colorado River headwaters and some great water in between.
 

Bicycling – Can’t say enough about it – the “King of the Rockies” Bike Race is even bad enough for Lance Armstrong to drop by.  With over 600 miles of mapped trails (and a bunch more -- if you can sweet-talk a local into showing you), you'll get your heart pounding and your adrenaline flowing -- and keep it that way the whole time you're here.
 

Skiing/Snowboarding – Consistently voted “Colorado’s Favorite Ski Resort”, The Winter Park Ski resort is in a league of it’s own, and we’re also a short drive to the ripping back-country of Berthoud Pass, and the Family-oriented Sol Vista Ski resorts. 

Golf – For information about the award-winning Pole Creek Golf Course, click here www.polecreekgolf.com/index.html.  We’re just down the road from a top-50 27 hole course.   Or check out the recently opened Sol Vista Golf Course by clicking here www.solvista.com/summerhome/index.html.  In addition, several more golf courses are currently being built.
 

Hiking – Pick a direction and go! There are more Elk in this county than people and they’ll happily share their forests and mountains with you.
 

Rock Climbing – A lot of people don’t know it yet, but we’ve also got some great rock-climbing here; this is one of Fraser Valley’s best kept secrets …for now.

Snow Tubing – The tubing hill is a short walk away, just in case you need a day off of skiing.
 

Cross Country Skiing – Grand County is home to five excellent cross country ski areas.  The famous Devil’s Thumb ski area (www.devilsthumbranch.com) is a haven for cross country and skate-skiing enthusiasts.  Also check out the trails at the Grand Lake Touring Center (www.grandlakecolorado.com/touringcenter), Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA  (www.ymcarockies.org), Sol Vista Golf and Ski Ranch (www.solvista.com/winterhome/).  As an added bonus, a lot of those fantastic summer bike-trails turn into fantastic XC ski trails in the winter.   

Sight-seeing – We are right at the footsteps of the Arapaho National Forest, the Rocky Mountain National Forest and the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. Take your pick, you won’t run out of forest.  You can find information about Rocky Mountain National Park by clicking here:   www.nps.gov/romo
 

Lake Sports – We are only a few miles away from Williams Fork Reservoir, Willow creek reservoir, Monarch lake, Meadow Creek Lake, Granby Reservoir, Shadow Mountain Reservoir, and Grand Lake. You can fish, windsurf, sail, water-ski, or just have a picnic at some of the highest lakes in the country.  For more information, check out:   www.trailridgemarina.com/home/excursion.html

Events – From the Winter Park mountain bike race series to the chili-cook off …to say nothing of the legendary KBCO rock-fest and Jazz festivals every summer.
