12:59 PM LOCAL TIMEWinter Park sits at the base of Winter Park Resort, a large winter ski area serving visitors with a extensive trail network for skiing, snowboarding, and Nordic skiing. Beyond the slopes, the town serves as a year-round outdoor hub: in summer, visitors ride the Fraser River valley trails for hiking and trail running, while mountain biking is a core draw on Derailer Park and surrounding routes. The town’s compact center provides access to shops, rentals, and local restaurants, backed by scenic views of the surrounding Continental Divide and nearby peaks like Hillary and Lone Eagle. Together with nearby villages and access points to the U.S. Highway 40 corridor, Winter Park is a convenience-oriented base for day trips across the Colorado high country—think —hot springs, alpine lakes, and winter festivals.
