A Weekend to Remember: Summer Solstice at Granby Ranch

Submitted by on June 14, 2008 – 12:00 amNo Comment

Last winter, I deemed SolVista at Granby Ranch as the ultimate family vacation and vowed to return in the summer. Guess what: I’m [going] baaaaaack!

On June 21 and 22, Granby Ranch will celebrate Summer Solstice by hosting an adventurous weekend packed with activities for the entire family. You can kick back and listen to Boulder-based country rockers, the Unknown Americans; take in a fireworks display after indulging in delicious BBQ; unwind with a chair massage by the Fraser River; join in activities from face painting, to fly-fishing the Fraser River, to hiking amid gorgeous peaks and wildflower meadows, to teeing off at the neighborhood’s 18-hole Headwaters Golf Course and biking the new SolVista Bike Park.

The Summer Solstice Celebration’s Stay & Play package is just $125 and covers all the weekend activities for the family, including Saturday night accommodations at a scenic mountain-side location, Sunday brunch and an exclusive mountain bike demo with national pro riders. For families who choose to come up just for the day, $20 covers the cost for the entire family to participate in an array of activities, complete with chairlift passes. And as always, parking is free.
