Just 67 miles from Denver, Winter Park is renowned for its ski slopes, backcountry climbs, and other outdoor adventures. After a long day of adventures, you can wind down in Winter Park's bustling downtown area or modern ski village at the base of the slopes. And thanks to can't-miss signature events like Blues From the Top Music Festival and the Winter Park Carnival, you can pair your adventure with some entertainment any time of year.
