Known as the western gateway to the mighty Rocky Mountains, Grand Lake is the largest group of mountains in the US. It is named after the lake it sits beside, which is a popular fishing and boating spot. The city is over 8,000 feet (2,438.4 meters) above sea level, which lends it constant cool weather all year round. Even at this altitude, the nearby Shadow Mountain still towers over the town. There are many other spots to visit in Grand Lake, including Shadow Lake, Granby Lake, and Mt. Craig. However, the most popular destination is Rocky Mountain National Park, which is home to some of the highest mountains in the mainland US! Looking for a place to stay on your next trip to Grand Lake?
