After skiing you may relax in front of a roaring fire and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate along with a scenic panorama view of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Very fun, relaxing place to visit right beside Rocky Mountain National Park! We had a great 1 hour trail ride with Anna and got to see some beautiful sites inside RMNP. There is also farm animals to see on the resort as well while you wait for your ride time. Love the area and the staff were all fantastic!

This was our first stop in Grand Lake. We received great information. She recommended a place for lunch, a waterfall hike, where to go in RMNP for short hikes, gave us maps, and even highlighted our choices for us!

On The Trail Rentals

Reviewed By susanch58 - Tulsa, United States

We’ve been up and rented snowmobiles from them in the winter- and always had a great experience. This was our 1st off road summer adventure - trail map helped - 4 hours on rzr wasn’t enough. Late summer was perfect- saw less than a handful of others on trails. Machine ran great with plenty of power - We’ll be back ????
