Grand Lake Golf Course is an ~8-minute drive from the condo.
There is also a disc golf course and an interconnected trail system right next door. This area got hit pretty hard by wildfires but still offers wonderful views of the high peaks.
In the winter, enjoy the Nordic center with 35km of classic and skate skiing trails. The trails are excellent for snowshoeing and there is a dedicated dog loop and a kids tubing hill.
