Grand Lake Lodge

Last summer Grand Lake Lodge quietly turned 85 years old. Like many octogenarians, the lodge has had a full life. It began with an eagerly anticipated birth, has many rich memories, suffered a great tragedy, and today maintains a dignified elegance reminiscent of days gone by. Grand Lake Lodge Colorado opened in 1920, a time when numerous lodges and dude ranches were being constructed around the newly-established Rocky Mountain National Park. However, Grand Lake Lodge’s origin was unique. It was the only lodge constructed on existing Rocky Mountain National Park owned land and with the park Superintendent’s enthusiastic input and endorsement.
