| Winter Park Colorado Wikipedia |
Winter Park is a town in Grand County, Colorado, United States. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 662, although tourists and seasonal workers significantly increase the population.
It is home to the Winter Park Resort, a well-known ski resort which is owned by the City and County of Denver and managed by Intrawest. The town and resort are served by the Ski Train of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW).
Although the town center is at about 9,000 feet[1], Winter Park is the highest incorporated town in the United States after the July 2006 annexation of 5,214 acres of Winter Park Ski Resort to allow new on-mountain improvements. Previously, Alma, CO held that title.
The area also has abundant cross-country skiing opportunities, including Devil's Thumb Ranch. In the spring and summer, Winter Park is known for mountain biking, concerts, hiking and fishing.
