January 21, 2024, Trestle Bridge at Rollins Pass

Built in 1905 and at an elevation of 11,600 feet, this is the remnants of the old train trestle that connected Denver to Winter Park. The tracks were removed in 1938 and the bridge was used for automobile traffic until 1955. These days it can only be accessed by hiking or biking.

This is a classic Fraser singletrack trail with some fun features. Get ready for banked turns and some jumps, but keep your eyes open for obstacles and roots in some sections.

This park near the Fraser River has a small fishing pond, picnic areas and some short connected trails. It is an entrance point to Granby from the south, and ends the Fraser to Granby Trail.

Fraser River Trail has a total length of 6.3 miles between the town of Fraser and Winter Park. The marked segment follows the Fraser River (as the name indicates) and runs parallel to the Highway 40. The trail offers the possibility to connect the two towns without having to use a car and instead gives you the opportunity to enjoy beautiful nature, great views of the surrounding mountains and maybe even some wildlife encounters (beavers, moose, deer, birds...). Summed up: the perfect trail for families!

Tabernash is a small highway-side community nestled between the towns of Granby and Winter Park in the valley of the Fraser River. The biggest draw is nearby Arapaho National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park, which offer year round outdoor recreation.
