Spring is the season of renewal when you may experience the first sightings of emerging wildflowers, migrating birds, new off-spring and welcoming the hummingbirds back to the Rocky Mountains. Fish from the shores of our local lakes as the ice begins to recede and warm up from a day’s outing at Western Riviera.
Did you know Rocky Mountain National Park was designated as a Globally Important Bird Area by the American Bird Conservancy in 2001? Birding is a popular activity this time of year, as the appearance of raptors and mountain bluebirds announce the coming of Spring. Grab your binoculars and bird book, and check out Birding in Grand Lake, Colorado for the most recent sightings and local birding hotspots.
Rocky Mountain National Park offers wildlife, activities and beautiful views in April. Currently, the first 10 miles of RMNP are open from the West Entrance to the Colorado River Trailhead. Stop by the Kawuneeche Visitor Center to get the latest trail conditions and recommendations, take in a short film upon request in their cinema, view a variety of exhibits and peruse the gift store for unique souvenirs. The friendly rangers at the Kawuneeche Visitor Center are happy to share their knowledge about recent wildlife sightings such as moose and elk, as well as the intriguing history of RMNP.
Get inspired by the local wildlife and picturesque landscapes of the Grand Lake area, and be charmed by the village with its authentic Wild West feel. Featuring one stop sign on Grand Avenue, wooden boardwalks, and historical buildings boasting one-of-a-kind gifts and experiences, your next outdoor adventure and peaceful getaway can be found here. April is the perfect month to take advantage of low prices and the blossoming beauty of Spring before the rush of summer crowds.
