Grand Lake, Colorado
By the time you reach the southwestern boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park, you'll probably be tired of driving on curvy roads, and hungry for a good meal. The town of Grand Lake can provide you with a much-needed break, and meal. The town is located on the shore of, you guessed it, Grand Lake. Despite it's name, the lake is actually smaller than two others that you'll pass as you head down the road--Lake Granby and Shadow Mountain Lake.
The water's edge is just a few steps from the town's boardwalk sidewalks. You'll find rowboat and paddleboat rental places, and a pier that's perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset.
Spot this statue, and you've found a path that leads from downtown to the lake.
There are several tempting places to eat in town, but if you're craving Mexican fare (and if you're not, why would you even bother with a trip to the southwest?) stop in at Pancho and Lefty's. I recommend the chile verde (green chile--it's similar to a soup, made with shredded pork, and it's fantastic!)
