Lake Granby
Big high-country water next to Grand Lake — room to run, room to stay.
Granby is the large reservoir in the Grand Lake chain. More surface, more weather, more of a mountain-reservoir feel than the town lake next door. Elevated treats Grand Lake and Granby as one high-country weekend, not two competing brochure photos.
