Question

When traveling from Denver, what way should we go to get up to Grand Lake?

Answer

There are two ways to get to Grand Lake when traveling from Denver. One way is going on I-70 to 40 and then to 34. This route would be recommended for travelers who are not as secure with driving in the mountains. It is the fastest route and the scenery is beautiful. The second option is taking 36 to 34. This route will take you through Rocky Mountain National Park and therefore, there will be a greater amount of traffic. This route is not recommended for travelers to drive at night. While the scenic views are breathtaking, be aware there are sheer drop offs.
