Estes Park is a gorgeous one-hour drive from Downtown Boulder and has so much to offer, including an entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, the famous Stanley Hotel of "The Shining," and a cute mountain town feel on the main drag. Watch out for elk that like to wander the streets and make reservations for the national park or tours of the Stanley Hotel in advance!
For our beer lovers, stop by some famous breweries located right here in Colorado, many of which have sister locations in Cassidy's hometown, Asheville. For something close by, start with Oskar Blues in Longmont. If you're looking to venture further out, move on to Odell Brewing and New Belgium in the cute town of Fort Collins. And lastly stop by our local favorites, New Terrain and, of course, Coors Brewing in Golden. Reservations are required for Coors Brewing tours!
