COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — There’s no denying Grand Lake in the summer. With the boardwalks connecting charming shops and eateries, and with the state’s largest natural body of water only steps away, the town in Colorado’s central mountains feels something like a beach getaway.
But in the cold of winter, Grand Lake shines no less.
The quaint hamlet often is missed in the shadow of Winter Park Resort, that world-famous ski destination to the south. There’s no chairlift in Grand Lake, but there’s no shortage of powder-packed adventure. There’s not the abundance of apres sit-downs, but you shouldn’t have a problem finding a fire to cozy up to with your favorite drink.
