Holzwarth Historic Site Details
The trout lodge established by John Holzwarth Sr. in 1920 is one of the few remaining structures remaining of the early tourism trade that flourished in Rocky Mountain National Park. Holzwarth originally built his Grand Lake homestead in 1915 with the idea of becoming a rancher, but switched to being a fishing guide and dude-ranch operator when Fall River Road brought increasing numbers of visitors to the region. The restored "Mama Cabin" was where Sophie Holzwarth prepared two meals daily for guests staying in tent cabins. You also can visit a restored tack and taxidermy shop where guests were outfitted for their hunting and fishing trips and had their trophies preserved.
