Grand Lake, Colorado is a quaint lake town surrounded by Rocky Mountain National Park with big mountain views of the Rockies and the Continental Divide. Grand Lake hosts a variety of year-round recreation. It is a winter wonderland to be explored during the winter months. My favorite time to visit Grand Lake is for their annual firework display on New Years Eve, where fireworks illuminate the winter sky above the beautiful lake.
Put New Years in Grand Lake, Colorado on your list of future winter vacations. It is a magical experience the whole family will love. If you happen to be in the Winter Park area this year, join the festivities and experience the 'New Years Eve Fireworks Spectacular!'
