When taking time to escape the daily grind and enjoy life begins with mountain peaks and pristine views, a trip to Winter Park, Colorado promises to inspire. This welcoming and scenic destination is a hot spot for downhill enthusiasts, but when the summer months roll around, the options for outdoor fun seem to expand even further! Make the most of the time in the great outdoors during your next Winter Park getaway by incorporating these activities into your exciting itinerary.
Winter Park Activities: Guided Hikes
The dynamic terrain that makes up the greater Winter Park region is irresistible to those that love to lace up their hiking boots and hit the trails. While independent treks are truly unforgettable, those looking for a more comprehensive and perhaps educational route to exploring will want to book a guided hike through the Winter Park Resort. The guided Cirque Hike is a great way to explore the high country over the course of 3.5 hours and is hosted June through September. The Cirque Hike caters to advanced hikers and provides sweeping views of both the continental divide as well as the Fraser Valley. Plan on covering anywhere from 3 to 7 miles during your Winter Park adventure!
E-Bike Tour
The team at the Winter Park Resort also offers up the option for visitors to Winter Park to participate in group E-bike tours of the mountains. This eco-friendly tour option is a great way to see the sights at a more leisurely pace. Participants will cover approximately 5 miles of ground as they make their way from Sunspot Lodge to Lunch Rock with amazing views waiting along the route to be enjoyed.
Horseback Riding
One of the most unique ways to take in the Winter Park terrain is on horseback and guests who partner up with the team at Winter Park Trail Rides can do exactly that! Situated in nearby Fraser, this company caters to guests looking to make the most of guided rides with a focus on nature and scenery as you move along. There’s no need to be an expert rider before you arrive. The team on site is happy to offer up instruction and all the gear you need to make for a safe and successful experience on the trails.
