The area of Columbine Lake, is the author's neighborhood and is located just outside Grand Lake and next door to Rocky Mountain National Park. If you ever want to take a great family vacation and make unforgetable memories, plan to visit Grand Lake, Colorado. The Author hopes that you enjoy reading his books as much as he enjoys writing them.
