Rocky Mountain National Park
The town of Estes Park is the gateway to the national park and is a fantastic place to stop for lunch. Please note that if you are going into the park, timed entry and reservations are required! Make your plans ahead of time. Trail Ridge Road is the famous route through the park and climbs to nearly 12,000 ft near the top, offering incredible scenery and wildlife viewing.

Celestial Seasonings
Even if you are not a tea fan, this is a fun tour! Celestial Seasonings was born in the 60s when Boulder hippies were searching for "wild herbs" and has since become one of the largest tea manufacturers in the country. Don't miss the peppermint room!
