Like most mountain town restaurants, the service can be slow at times, but the food is amazing so don't wait until you're starving to go eat. ;) GREAT BBQ!

This steakhouse has amazing food and is off the beaten path, as it is located off the main road from downtown. Bread does not come with the meal, but you can order it for an extra charge.

If you're planning to spend time in Granby, this is my favorite local Mexican restaurant. There is also one in Frasier as well.

GREAT place for ice cream! The one located directly at the foot of the lake is a great place with daily/unique flavors as well.

This grocery store has the most variety but closes at 7pm so be sure to plan ahead. The only other grocery store in Grand Lake is across the way but also closes at 8pm. There is a large grocery store (Safeway or King Soopers?) in the town of Granby, apx 15 miles away, if you need additional options.

Entertainment/Activities

We have created additional pages and maps for all your extra curricular activities in our Guest Book, located inside The Knotty Pine. These include kid's activities, local marinas, boat/kayak/snowmobile/bicycle/off-road rentals. There are also more ice cream shops in one small town than you could ever imagine. I hope you enjoy and feel free to let us know of additional recommendations.

This is a great theatre that hosts some popular shows. We went to see the Patsy Kline show in September and it was amazing! We look forward to seeing more shows and we really are not that "into" theatre, for what it may be worth.

This is an excellent place to go to soak in the hot sulfur pools. There are many natural sulphur pools with different temperatures to ensure your satisfaction. There is also a private bath area that includes a small, natural 100+ degree sulphur pool, shower area and recovery room (swimsuits are optional for those who are not prepared in advance.). They also rent swimsuits. This is at least a great place to "check out." This is approximately 20 minutes from Grand Lake.

旅行者へのアドバイス

風習と文化

Avoid waiting to go to restaurants until you are really hungry.

Mountain service, in general, can be very slow. Waiting until you are already hungry can cause unnecessary aggravation, which may lead to a bad overall experience.
子連れ旅行

White Buffalo has an upstairs arcade great for kids.

This allows adults the opportunity to spend time in the restaurant/bar without the frustration of kids not wanting to hang out.
必要な持ち物

Mountain clothing and packing

When you are visiting the mountains, you can experience every weather scenario in a short period of time. Dressing in layers is important, so be sure to pack clothing for all weather. Even with warm and sunny days can bring cold evenings. Always bring a jacket, despite the season. Sunscreen and chapstick are a MUST, as there are more days with sunshine than not. A heavy coat, boots, gloves and hat are especially important in the fall/winter months.
必見

Always be aware of your surroundings - Wildlife!

Please always be aware of your surroundings, as Grand Lake is famous for their wildlife roaming their streets. To see Elk and Moose throughout your day is common. Please be sure never to approach (or feed) wildlife. Give them space and respect the fact this is their home too. We do have bears so please do not leave food outside or in your vehicles.
風習と文化

Mountain Hours of Operation

Please be sure you check out the hours of operation for everything in the mountains, especially in the off-season, as stores/restaurants may be closed for the season and/or have limited hours. For instance, know the hours of the grocery stores, so you do not get caught without the ability to purchase food.

There is a small hardware store in Grand Lake, but if you need an Ace Hardware or Lumber store, you will find that in Granby, about 15-20 minutes away.
