It is local lore that people come to Winter Park to ski, but they stay because of the summer.  We completely agree!  Summer is such a treat in the mountains, with sunny days and dry trails, music festivals, art shows and so many other activities.  The wildflowers are stunning and that spot by the river is still the perfect place for a picnic.  Summer is so sweet -
 and so short at 9000'.  Come enjoy it while
you can!    

Come join us!

What's one GREAT thing about Summer?

 Long summer days mean you can fit in all your favorite alpine pastimes! 

 

A FEW FUN THINGS

The hummingbirds are in full flight - watch them drink from the fountain and hover over a bachelors' button.

 

 
Artists' Week is just around the corner!
 

 


Jango has decided that napping in the sun is what summer is all
 about.   A quick drink from the pond and back to that nap spot. 
All day long.

Three Perfect Days

With so many things to do and see here, we are often asked how to fit it all in!  Here are our suggestions for the perfect three-day visit.
 
Day One:  Arrive at Wild Horse Inn.  Get a cookie or two from the jar and enjoy a cup of tea on the back deck while you check out the hiking maps or the events calendar.  Head to dinner at the new Tabernash Tavern and be sure to sit at a table outside.   Now get some good rest.
 
Day Two:  Coffee and breakfast at Wild Horse Inn gets you ready for the day ahead.   Stop by Wild Horse Gourmet to get the perfect picnic lunch.  Take a favorite hike to Columbine Lake for some of the most beautiful alpine views anywhere, and have your picnic on the lakeshore.  Or, head to town and enjoy one of the festivals or art shows.  Early risers could do both!  Back to the Inn for a massage and sauna.  A glass of wine in the front garden, and off to Devil's Thumb Ranch House Restaurant for a slow, wonderful dinner.

Day Three:  Coffee and breakfast at Wild Horse Inn.  Head to Grand Lake and stop for some ice cream and a short shopping tour - Or take a horseback ride, or rent a paddle boat for a couple of hours.  Then drive through Rocky Mountain National Park over Trail Ridge Road.  Be sure to take your camera for all the wildlife and incredible views.  If you're heading back to the front range, take the Peak to Peak Highway and extend your mountain time just a little longer.    
 

Now that's summer!
