Today is the "grand tour" to the mountains...we are all going to Winter Park CO!
This is a short drive here...it's only 1.5h drive... The landscape with the mountains all around is really breath taking...wouha! For info, Denver is already at 1600 meters above see level and Winter Park at more than 2600 meters!!

Once up there, we had to rush a little to find an hotel and realised that it will not be too easy as there was the yearly Jazz festival during this weekend... It took us a good hour to find a hotel in the neighbourhood!!

We tested one for you in Fraser which is the next small city after Winter Park on the US40:

The Pinnacle Lodge
108 Zerex Street
Fraser, CO 80442

Overall, not too bad: indoor heated pool, + jacuzzi, big rooms and a nice breakfast in the morning. Price-wise, well I guess we got lucky with a room for three @ USD 120.- (TTC)...other hotels that we contacted priced their rooms @ over USD 180 (HT)!!!

Overall impression: we will come back during winter time... ;-)
