Winter Park offers More than Ski and Snowboarding

In order to appeal to a wider base of clients many of the ski resorts now offer other activities in the area beyond ski and snowboarding.

In Colorado people that stay at Winter Park can find numerous companies that specialize in snowmobile rentals with guided tours and maps. Snowmobiles that follow the historic Moffat railroad that trains used up until about 78 years ago, will find themselves looking out over the Continental Divide.

For a slower pace of travel for the more romantics a sleigh ride through the backcountry on a starlit evening will create just the mood for a quiet romantic evening. Speeding things up a little with a Dog Sled Ride will create and exciting and interesting stories for evenings around the fire with friends.

After a day in the cold a trip to the hot springs will warm you up and take away the chill and sooth acing muscles that have spent a day on the bumps at Mary Jane. Just 30 minutes from Winter Park the hot mineral springs are best when a gentle snow is falling. The snow will melt before it even hits your face, joining the warm mists off the water.

Family lodging in Winter Park can range from a private Bed and Breakfast to a large hotel however many families find that a vacation rental is the best option especially when traveling with kids.
