Day Trip to Grand Lake, CO

For our last day in Colorado, Greg wanted to take us to Grand Lake. Its in the heart of the Rockies and quite a spectacular drive. We left from Denver...
...and south From Golden on Interstate 70, the Rockies were snow covered.

Once off I-70, the road to Winter Park is a series of switchbacks and the climb and views are incredible!
We were high!!
 Finally we descend a bit,,,
Thats a window reflection as I didn't open the window to take the photo...
After passing the ski resort of Winter Park, we traveled for a good distance through a wide practically treeless valley.

 Going to Grand Lake

But after turning off the main road to Grand Lake, there are a series of three lakes...
 At Grand Lake Village
As we left the Village, we were pounded with rain and hail!

 Heading Back
