Grand Lake

The CDT runs right through Grand Lake on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park.  It's signed and everything.  We met up with Hikeaholic and after resupplying at the grocery store, walked through town to the Shadowcliff Lodge.  The lodge sits high on a bluff overlooking the lake and town.  

It's quite large and is a retreat of sorts with workshops & such.  It has a very peaceful vibe.  We are staying in the hostel part.  I had fun playing tourist today, checking out the shops, getting pizza, and even eating ice cream.  Here's Pounce and Hikeaholic walking to downtown.  

It's a nice town and it would be great to spend more time here but after a zero in both Leadville and Silverthorne we can't.
