Who We Are

Summit and Grand are known for their ski resorts and summer activities. However, there is another part of Middle Park where the real Coloradoans live: the Lower Blue River Valley. Bordered by the rugged Gore Range to the west and the Williams Fork Mountains to the east, the beautiful Blue River Valley meanders down the Highway 9 corridor, north of Silverthorne, before merging with the powerful Colorado River near Kremmling. The Valley includes unspoiled National Forest, two Wilderness areas, and several private ranches.
