Theatre at Grand Lake

Nana and Papa headed up into the mountains this past week to enjoy a few days at Grand Lake, CO. The main attraction is the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre (RMRT). They operate in true repertory fashion with shows alternating with each day they're open. This means you could easily catch two or three different shows in one relatively short trip. And the shows are outstanding, dare I saw Broadway quality. We saw The Music Man and Come from Away this trip. The latter was truly and uniquely great. We also stayed at the Grand Lake Lodge this time which allowed us to check off another of the "Great Lodges." This one is technically not in a National Park, but it borders Rocky Mountain National Park and has that feel to it - good enough! While we were up there, we (yes, Nana was even more excited than Papa was) had to re-visit the Moffat Road Railroad Museum in Granby. Wanted to check out a few things: progress on the 7.5" gauge railroad, progress on their big HO layout project, and the Dumont Depot which was just moved to their location last year. As for food places, we revisited One Love in downtown Grand Lake (very flavorful and different Mexican approach) and newly visited Rapids Lodge and Restaurant (excellent food in an exceptional location along "the rapids"). The scenic boat cruise around the lake will have to wait till next time (they were booked). All the photos are here.
