Edit Note: I wrote this post the Monday after we made our actual visit, but had to wait until the story was actually live. You can find the complete Good Housekeeping 2023 Family Travel Rewards story here!
Happy Thanksgiving week, my friends! We have been battling all the illnesses over here lately (just like literally everyone else in the world, I know), but we did manage to pull it together this past weekend for a quick press trip out to YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, CO.
As you’ll recall, we are already big fans of Granby, but the YMCA property took that love to a whole other level. I won’t go into a ton of detail here (because all of that is covered in the actual story that the press trip was for, which you can find here), but I’ll just say, this is the best, most upgraded camp experience you could ever have, dropped right in the middle of the most majestic mountain setting.
Some of our activities included:
- Meeting the sled dog team and going on a little ride
- Checking out the Kiva/Rec Center
- Making crafts in the Craft Center
- Smoresing and bonfireing
- Building a float for a mini Thanksgiving Day parade
- Enjoying our SPECTACULAR mountain views
We feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit this iconic spot.


















We stopped off in Idaho Springs on our way home, as well, and had lunch at Beau Jo’s <3


I hope you guys are staying healthy and have some relaxing and fun holiday plans ahead. Until next time … bis bald!
