We recommend turning this wedding trip into a full vacation. Colorado has SO much to offer - more than just Estes Park. If you are able to come in early…Denver is a neat city, and we love our home in Boulder!
Rocky Mountain National Park surrounds the town of Estes Park. The parking can be limited but there is a shuttle provided from town.
There are tons of awesome hikes to do. The park features multiple 14,000 ft. peaks as well as easier hikes . Here you'll find stunning views of high altitude meadows, turquoise alpine lakes, dramatic rock formations and glaciers.
It is worth just driving the roads and seeing the abundant wildlife. Keep your eyes out for moose, elk and deer.
Trail Ridge Road is a beautiful drive through Rocky Mountain National Park. It is highest road in the United States, climbinge 4,000 ft in a matter of minutes.
Eleven miles of this highway are above tree line. Trail Ridge Road offers thrilling views, wildlife sightings and spectacular alpine wildflower exhibitions, all from the comfort of your car.
The Stanley Hotel Spirited Night Tour is a 60-minute walking tour that will take you through the dark edges of the hotel. It is a unique way to experience the hotel's spirited tales with a knowledgeable storyteller under the ambiance of nighttime in the Rocky Mountains.
Looking for a nice little medium challenging day hike while you are here? Lumpy Ridge was our first date! We highly recommend.
This company is family owned and operated and creates beautiful one of a kind hand blown glass pieces.
We haven't been but it's listed as one of the top places to visit in Estes!
