Question

When I should book lodging and where?

Question

Do I need to stay in Granby Ranch? What about Winter Park?

Question

What is the drive like from Denver to Granby?

Answer

It takes 1 hour, 45 minutes to drive from the Denver airport to Granby Ranch. We recommend doing this drive in DAYTIME because you will go up the continental divide pass, which means steep switchbacks. If you are unexperienced or nervous about driving this pass, you can take the Amtrak train from Denver to Granby (see Travel section for more info).

Question

Help! I've never been up to 8,000 feet elevation

Answer

We got you! We recommend drinking electrolytes in your water, and plenty of it. Go easy on the alcohol. If you can, try to get there a day before to help acclimate. If you ever feel sick, descending down will help you feel better immediately.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Warm and sunny in the day (God willing!) and cooler at night. Average temps for Granby Ranch in June are 72° day / 37° night (due to the high elevation). Colorado weather is VERY dynamic. Plan for chilly, hot, and rain! You just never know :)
