Fraser, Colorado, is a town is at an elevation of 8574 feet (2613 meters) and was established in 1871. It was laid out along the Fraser River by George Eastom and originally named for him. Rueben Frazier, an early settler in the area, was well known by most of the locals and it wasn't long before people started calling the town Frazier. When the US Postal Authority granted a post office they wanted an easier spelling so took the name of the nearby Fraser River.
There are all types of things to do year around in the Fraser River Valley. Skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing - all variations on a theme; riding on snow on a board (or boards) to which your feet are attached. With great enthusiasm! Winter Park and SolVista Resorts cater to both skiers and snowboarders. Cross-country skiers can find groomed trails at Snow Mountain Ranch, Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort, and SolVista as well as ungroomed trails in the National Forest.
Hiking and Snowshoeing - they are essentially the same, only the hiking in winter is done with snowshoes! There are lots of trails in the Arapaho National Forest, the Indian Peaks Wilderness and in Rocky Mountain National Park. Popular trails in the Fraser Valley are the Byers Peak Trail, Columbine Lake Trail, Caribou Pass Trail, High Lonesome Trail (includes the Devil's Thumb Trail), Jim Creek Trail, Rogers Pass Trail, James Peak Trail and the St. Louis Lake Trail Mountain Biking - Pick up a trail map (see above, Hiking and Snowshoeing) and head out for some serious mountain biking. Or take a lift to the top of Winter Park Resort and ride the bike trails down. Although you may see some folks on their bikes in the winter, this is generally accepted to be a summertime activity here in the mountains, for obvious reasons.
