Location
Location of Granby Station within Colorado

Granby is proposed as a station to use for access of the Rocky Mountain National Park by train.[4] However, while the train ride (from the Denver side) provides impressive views, the station itself lies a good sixteen miles from the park, without public transportation connections.
