In this on-location episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Travel with Terri” Show, travel writer Terri Guthrie talks with Gaylene Ore, Executive Director of the Grand County Tourism Board, about the breathtaking beauty, outdoor adventures, and welcoming hospitality that make Grand County, Colorado such a special destination.
Recorded onsite at the historic Grand Lake Lodge, Terri shares highlights from her visit and her stay at both Grand Lake Lodge and Arapaho Valley Ranch — two distinctive and scenic accommodations that showcase the area’s mountain charm and serene lakeside atmosphere. The conversation explores fall foliage, wildlife sightings, and local cuisine, plus Terri reflects on the region’s strong sense of community and the joy of exploring Colorado’s mountain towns. Later in the show, her husband Ron Guthrie joins in to share some of his favorite experiences and discoveries from the trip.
