Posted on July 22, 2011 by Chris

Winter Park Colorado Photos

Winter Park, Colorado is such an amazing place that we think it is worth at-least one photo a day. SO, we here at Winter Park Lodging Company have started a little photo project. We will be publishing a new photo each for 365 days straight on the Winter Park Lodging Company Facebook page. This little project started officially on July 17, 2011. We have captured some great shots already and are looking for more.

If any Y’all would like to show us your Wp shots please feel free to throw them up on the WPLCo Facebook page. To the left and below are some of the shots that we have recently that we have snapped in an around the Winter Park and Fraser Valley. It is the time of year for flowers, bike rides and afternoon thunderstorms, so the rules are keep your bike, camera and rain jacket at the ready.

Here is the 365 days of WInter Park photo album so far. Today we will be looking for some great shots up above WP on the mountain bike trails in the James Peak Wilderness Area.

We also have the Winter Park Jazz Festival officially starting tomorrow so look for some shots of the great jazz musicians that are playing here in Winter Park this weekend. There really are so many things going on right now that only one shot a day may be a little unrealistic. We will keep to under three a day though to be sure.
