Winter Park has an interesting history that you might not know about. It was founded in 1922 by the Graves family as a logging site. Then in 1928, the Moffat Tunnel was built, and is still in use today for rail transport from Denver's Union Station (book your trip on the Winter Park Express) and other rail services. Soon after, cabins started popping up for hunters and local workers and was originally named Hideaway Park. While the town officially became incorporated in 1978, the Winter Park ski resort opened back in 1940 as a city park for Denver. Fast forward to now, and the area and resort has transformed into a top-notch destination.
The ski resort and the main downtown area are just 2 miles apart, and there's a free town shuttle that makes getting around super easy. You'll find plenty of places to stay, eat and have fun!
Eastom, which was founded as a town site back in 1871, changed its name to Fraser in 1905 and officially became incorporated in 1953.

Originally called Val Moritz when it opened in 1970, the resort changed names to SilverCreek in the '80s and then to Sol Vista in the mid-'90s. Now, with new ownership, it's become a go-to spot for families and locals alike.
In 1881, a general store and a big ranch called Kinsey City kicked off the settlement. It officially became a town in 1904 and by 1912 the Middle Park Fair was launched, adding a traditional western vibe to the area.
