The Grand County Parade of Homes happens Saturday and Sunday, and Aug. 9 and 10. The free, self-guided tour is a chance to poke around two dozen luxurious mountain homes featuring such designer details as high-end kitchens, expansive bedrooms, ceiling-high fireplaces and massive log-beam framing. While some of the houses are tucked away in the trees or at the edge of high altitude golf-courses, others are nestled slope-side or in a field of wildflowers. Simply check in at one of the following registration points for maps and details: The Village at Winter Park Resort (at the base of Winter Park Resort ski area); Hideaway Park in downtown Winter Park, which is also the location of the event’s expo and vendors; the big white tent at Rendezvous between Fraser and Winter Park; and the Clubhouse at Grand Elk (near Granby).
