Reviews"Grand County is full of living history. Nineteenth century stagecoach stops that provided respite for travelers have been transformed into museums, such as Fraser's Cozens Ranch. By Winter Park Resort, trains rumble through the Moffat Tunnel, which connected the county to the world in 1928. Author Penny Rafferty, Ph.D., chronicles these landmarks and many more in Images of America: Grand County ." -Meg Soyars, Middle Park Times, "Grand County is full of living history.

SynopsisEstablished in 1874, before Colorado became a state, Grand County is nestled in the north-central Rocky Mountains. Named for the Grand River (renamed the Colorado River), Grand County encompasses 1,868 square miles, which is larger than Rhode Island. For thousands of years, Indigenous, nomadic tribes enjoyed natural hot springs and summer hunting. Spanish explorers, French fur trappers, and mountain men followed. In 1858, the gold rush brought rugged prospectors, creating towns named Coulter, Gaskill, Lulu City, and Teller. Later, homesteaders, loggers, merchants, and the Moffat Railroad built Arrow, Hideaway Park, Winter Park, Fraser, Tabernash, Granby, Grand Lake, Hot Sulphur Springs, Parshall, Kremmling, and Radium. Today, tourists flock to Rocky Mountain National Park, Arapaho National Forest, and award-winning dude ranches and resorts to enjoy some of the world's most beautiful lakes, mountain ranges, and abundant wildlife. Written in an easy-to-read pictorial format with over 200 curated photographs, Grand County is for readers interested in true stories of Western grit and courage., Established in 1874, before Colorado became a state, Grand County is nestled in the north-central Rocky Mountains.
