Last summer Grand Lake Lodge quietly turned 85 years old. Like many octogenarians, the lodge has had a full life. It began with an eagerly anticipated birth, has many rich memories, suffered a great tragedy, and today maintains a dignified elegance reminiscent of days gone by. Grand Lake Lodge Colorado opened in 1920, a time when numerous lodges and dude ranches were being constructed around the newly-established Rocky Mountain National Park. However, Grand Lake Lodge�s origin was unique. It was the only lodge constructed on existing Rocky Mountain National Park owned land and with the park Superintendent�s enthusiastic input and endorsement.
