Discover cool things to do
in Estes Park

Estes Park is the original Colorado mountain resort village and a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Set along the banks of the Big Thompson River in a high-altitude basin surrounded by mountain peaks, Estes park has been attracting hunters, fishermen and other outdoor sports enthusiasts since the mid-1800s. Exploring the craggy scenery and viewing wildlife in Rocky Mountain National Park is popular throughout the year. Snowshoeing, sledding and cross-country skiing are popular in the winter, and summer visitors beat the heat of lower elevations by strolling the downtown streets enjoying Western-inspired art and architecture and going hiking, biking, fishing, horse-back riding and more.
