Special Events
Make your special event Grand!
A stone’s throw away from where deer and antelope routinely roam, the mountain splendor of Grand County provides something for every occasion. Variety in facilities and geography means choices. They include large private homes, hotels, resorts, restaurants, mountainsides, lakesides, golf courses, even campgrounds. In the summer, the mountains are alive with festivals and celebrations that can provide built-in entertainment. And you can’t beat typical mountain activities like hay rides, barbecues, jeep tours, balloon rides, even traditional rodeo performances preceded by a typical western barbecue. In addition to world-class skiing, winter brings sleigh rides, opportunities to gather around roaring fires, casual parties or fine dining experiences.
Fall is the value season in the mountains for special events. September and October are usually dry, sunny and glorious, giving a special charm to the mountain valley. Where else can you experience the autumn bugling of the elk against a backdrop of golden aspen leaves? As an added plus for family reunions or special events, more than 700 flights from around the world arrive each day at Denver International Airport (DIA).
