Spring in Grand County

Grand County shifts from winter into a new season of activity as snow gives way to budding trees, open trails, and rushing rivers. Spring hiking and biking in Colorado starts here, with accessible routes that offer fresh air, early greenery, and wildlife watching. Anglers can take advantage of early-season fishing on the Colorado and Fraser Rivers, or at nearby lakes, as the ice recedes. It’s also an excellent time for a spring break trip, with fewer crowds and a slower pace, allowing for easy exploration of mountain towns and scenic drives.
