To begin with, we are natives. With respect to the local saying, "You are a Coloradoan if..." - We hike, bike, paddle, ski, camp, golf, hammock, play and live at high altitude. This gives us a distinct advantage in understanding a Colorado tourist destination.

GuestGuide Publications® is an experienced Grand-county based publications firm. We understand the specific needs of our local tourist markets. We firmly believe in doing it right and doing it on time. We use and are very thankful for the help of local experts and volunteers who also are eager to give us needed advice, time and opinions. Our publications all are designed to reach a variety of audiences, from the young to the young at heart.

On a serious side, GuestGuide Publications®, based in Winter Park, is a family-owned business. Publisher, Susie Masterson has lived and worked in Winter Park for more than 20 years. She draws on her experience working in the film industry where attention to every detail is a must. This knowledge gained while operating under deadlines on movie sets is translated into producing guide books. For her volunteer work in helping to maintain the trails in Grand County, Susie was awarded the Governor's Colorado Cares Service Award in 2005. She is a photographer, traveler and writer. Editor, Helen Masterson has owned a condo in Old Town Winter Park since 1976. Before starting her own public relations firm, she was director of public relations for the Denver Art Museum, Director of public information for the University of Colorado's Boulder campus and director of public information at the Education Commission of the States and the National Assessment of Educational Progress. She wrote Jefferson County, A Contemporary Portrait and copy for Colorado River Headwaters Scenic & Historic Byway brochure.
