Grand Lake Yacht Club

Grand Lake Yacht Club or GLYC has been claimed to be the world's highest registered yacht club. Located at 8,269 feet (2,520 m) in elevation, on Grand Lake, it serves the town of Grand Lake, Colorado as a private club. Beginning in 1902 by entrepreneurs from Denver, it soon grew to its current location on Grand Lake's northern shore. Denver architect Aaron Gove, who had a house in the area, was recruited to design a clubhouse, and did so for no fee. The Lake Granby Yacht Club, at 8,280 feet (2,520 m) on nearby Lake Granby (reservoir created in 1950), claims to be higher.
