Things To Do
Rocky Mountain National Park
One of the places that has made Estes Park as popular is it is today is, Rocky Mountain National Park sits on the edge of town only a short drive from town. Here you will find yourself surrounded by all the natural beauty that Colorado is known for. Whether you take a scenic drive up Trail Ridge Road or hike to one of the many lakes in the park, you will find yourself in awe of what the Rocky Mountain's have to offer. Be aware, RMNP requires reservations to access most of the park between 9am and 2pm for entry . A timed entry permit is $2 and can be obtained at https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086910. Depending on how long you plan to stay, or what you would like to do in the park, you can enter without a permit after 2pm.
