I first came to Grand Lake Colorado about 40 years ago. I remember
friendly, trusting people in a small town where kids could wander freely through
main street and I could practice my marksmanship with a 22 at the shooting
gallery. Today the shooting gallery is electronic, but the people are
still honest and friendly, and my son and nephew, 12 & 14 respectively, were
able to fish, go out in a paddle boat, and wander about the town to their hearts
content.
I needed a bow for my wife's birthday present, and a lady in one of the
stores made one for me from ribbon she had on hand, and wouldn't take a nickel
for it. We ate in wonderful restaurants, stayed in a couple
of great lodges, and got to know some of the nicest people you could hope to
meet. If you're looking for a breathtaking view, mountain air, fishing,
boating, good food, and Colorado hospitality, I'd highly recommend Grand Lake
Colorado. | | |
