Winter Park Lodging

Like so many other mountain ski resort towns, Winter Park, Colorado offers some of the finest skiing found in the entire country. However, Winter Park is also known for its many outdoor activities enjoyed by patrons during the summer months. No matter what time of year, Winter Park lodging is always inviting and visitors find the accommodations second to none. No matter what brings someone to Winter Park, it is certain that they will truly enjoy a unique experience.

Commonly referred to as “Colorado’s Highest,” Winter Park claims to have the highest elevation of any incorporated city in the United States with its tallest point resting at 12,060 feet above sea level. Initially settlements first sprung up during the construction of the Moffat Tunnel when a local merchant named “Doc” Graves built 26 tourist cabins, a café and service station. Recognized for the site’s beauty and sheer potential as a getaway location, Graves powered the small mountain village by means of a water wheel he installed at the nearby Vasquez Creek. Enjoying rare economic prosperity during the ominous Great Depression, the Winter Park Ski Resort opened its doors to patrons in 1939. Thousands flocked to Winter Park over the years simply to hit the slopes on the resort’s three interconnected peaks – Winter Park, Mary Jane and Vasquez Ridge. Despite the tourist buzz and years of success, it wasn’t until August 1,1978 that Winter Park, Colorado was officially founded.

Since then, the mountain town has evolved into a year-round attraction. From hiking trails to mountain bike paths, many simply come to Winter Park to enjoy the serene landscape and awe-inspiring peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Others hone their fly-fishing skills in hopes of landing a fat stringer of elusive trout that flourish in Winter Park’s crystal clear mountain streams. The town center also has much to offer in the way of delicious cuisine and various specialty shops. Numerous stores litter Winter Park’s downtown streets filled with handcrafted southwestern jewelry and Native American artwork. The summer months also bring various outdoor concerts and festivals for the entire family to enjoy.

No matter what the attraction may be, Winter Park is a vibrant mountain community with much to offer its patrons. Winter Park lodging is always available and strives to accommodate its guests. From winter skiing to site seeing in the cool mountain air, Winter Park, Colorado truly is the premiere vacation destination for anyone who simply wants to get away.
