Why the name Sundog? A sundog, also known as a mock sun or a parhelion, is a bright, colorful atmospheric phenomenon that appears on either side of the sun, often in a hazy sky.It looks like a small, bright spot or halo, sometimes with a tail or streak extending away from the sun. Sundogs are caused by the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere, and they are most commonly seen in polar regions during cold weather conditions. In some cultures, sundogs are seen as a positive or even magical occurrence, bringing good luck to those who see them. We see sundogs as a metaphor for those who are seeking adventure, exploring the outdoors and enjoying all the magic of nature.Our hope is that while you’re here at Sundog Condo, you’re outside experiencing Grand County and reconnecting with nature, making memories with your fellow travelers, all while having a cozy, warm home base to come back to at the end of the day.🎥 taken this morning, December 16th, on the road up to Granby Ranch. #Colorado #coloradovacation
This is where we recommend spending your weekend 😉 #Colorado #coloradovacation
Bluebird Bistro at Granby Ranch is officially open for the season! It’s the perfect place to grab a bite and a beverage after a great day of skiing.“We had the whiskey bbq pulled pork, roasted peaches & mozzarella pizza last night & it was DELICIOUS! Cooked to perfection. A couple of beers & then crème brûlée & a piece of cheese cake. This restaurant never disappoints. You can sit out on the beautiful outdoor patio or inside.” #Colorado #coloradovacation
Grand Lake is the most charming town during the holiday season. If it’s not yet on your “must-visit” list, it should be! #Colorado #coloradovacation #HolidaySeason

It’s near impossible to wake up on the wrong side of the bed when this is your morning view! ❄️🏔️☃️ #Colorado #coloradovacation
Don’t let a little snow deter you! Monarch Lake Loop Trail is stunning in winter. The trail access is a little trickier because you can’t park near the trailhead due to the closed road, so you’ll hike in a bit. Once you hit the trailhead, the loop is about 4 miles with minimal elevation gain, so still fairly easy to accomplish. (Although snow certainly ramps up the workout.) #Colorado #coloradovacation
This rustic hot springs in Grand County, Colorado has a captivating history. Originally it was a winter campground for Native Americans seeking the medicinal benefits of the warm waters. The hot mineral water, sourced from a staggering 35,000 feet beneath the Earth's surface, is naturally heated and emerges through a fissure, earning Hot Sulphur Springs the reputation for having the best water in Colorado. The natural mineral water originates from 7 mountain springs, coursing through 18 man-made pools, a duck pond, and finally into the Colorado River. The pools boast 100% natural water, void of any added chemicals – a true testament to the natural flow, balanced at 5 gallons per 40 seconds. No filters or pumps disrupt the harmony; all water movement is gravity-fed and entirely natural, maintaining its consistent flow and mineral levels since 1946. Open 365 days a year from 8am - 10pm, it's always a great time to dip in the waters of Hot Sulphur Hot Springs! #Colorado #coloradovacation
For a special dessert while you’re in town, hit up Showboat's Drive By Pie! The hardest part about the whole process is deciding which of the delicious pie flavors you want. 😂 #Colorado #coloradovacation
