600 miles of trails stretch throughout Winter Park and the
Fraser Valley. Whether you choose to follow a babbling
brook, stroll through a wildflower meadow, or climb up the
side of a mountain, Winter Park offers hiking for every skill
level.
Winter Park Resort has 50 miles of trails that are accessible
by chair lift. At the top of the lift you will find the Sunspot,
which is a great place to get a bite to eat and enjoy the
360-degree views of surrounding mountains.
Berthoud Pass also offers a high starting point, but you can
get there by car instead of a chair lift. Hiking along the
Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which follows the
Divide from Mexico to Canada, gives you a feeling of being
on top of the world. You can also access the Divide from
Rollins pass. It tends to be a little less crowded, but that is
because the road up is a little bumpy, unlike Berthoud Pass.
For those looking for a challenging hike, give Byers Peak a
try. Reaching the peak at 12,804 feet may be difficult, but the
views from the top are spectacular. Devil’s Thumb, 12,000
feet, is a nice area for hiking, however it is best known for
snow shoeing during the winter months.
After taking a nice morning hike you can relax and enjoy
some free music concerts that can be found just about
everywhere in Winter Park all summer long. Music and food
festivals also take place in the area, but generally cost up to
for admission. Events like the Jazz Festival and the
Food, Wine & Beer Festival may require advance planning
for stays in Winter Park.
It would be impossible to cover all of the hiking trails of
Winter Park and the Fraser Valley in one short article.
However, once you get to here, there are numerous free trail
guides that can be found at most establishments.
