About OTTO

On the Trail Outfitters is a family owned and operated business in Grand Lake, Colorado. Founded in 1994, it has served the Grand County outdoor community for more than three decades.

After working at the business for much of its history, Nick Hanson purchased the business from the original owner in 2010. Under Nick’s care and management, the company expanded its offerings to include ATVs and Side by Sides and guided tours.

Family is at the heart of On the Trail Outfitters. Nick’s wife, Melissa, has spent more than 20 years teaching at Granby Elementary School, and whenever her schedule allows, she joins in to help. So do their three children, Caden, Aubree, and Cruze. Away from the business, the whole family can usually be found outdoors, whether they’re hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, boating, horseback riding, or taking the Side by Sides out for a spin. It’s the same love of the outdoors they hope every guest takes home.

On the Trail Outfitters operates at Winding River Resort, which Wes and Marcia House, Melissa’s parents, have owned and operated for more than 50 years. The business is proud to continue that tradition of family hospitality and to share the beauty of Grand Lake with every guest.
