FAQs

Question

How do we get to Estes Park?

Answer

We recommend flying into Denver International Airport. Estes Park is about a 1.5 hour drive from Denver International Airport. We recommend renting a car, its a beautiful drive. If you opt against renting a car, you can book a shuttle from the Denver International Airport to your hotel. This company can arrange to pick you up from the airport, as well as take you to the airport when leaving Estes Park going back to the airport. Head to this website for more information: https://www.estesparkshuttle.com/DIA-airport-shuttle With that being said, if you opt against renting a car, we want to make sure everyone knows that ride share services like Uber and Lyft are not available in town. Although you would be able to take an Uber/Lyft from the airport to Estes Park, CO. You would likely not be able to get an Uber/Lyft from Estes Park to take you to the airport as Uber/Lyft don't usually have drivers that service the area.

Question

What kind of car should I rent?

Answer

We recommend only renting an All Wheel Drive vehicle. December is a tricky month in the Rockies, meaning it could be snowing or no snow at all. Given the unpredictable weather, we think its best to be prepared for either option as we have seen people have some difficulty with traction when driving front wheel or rear wheel drive vehicles.

Question

I did not rent a car, how do I get around town?

Answer

Estes Park, Colorado is a very small town of around 6,000 people. There are no Ubers or Lyfts in town. Best way to get around town is by driving, which is why we highly recommend renting an all wheel drive vehicle. If you opt to not rent a car, getting around town may be a bit difficult. But there are a few private drivers in town that can get you to where you need to go, as long as you are not in a hurry.

Question

What is the weather like in December?

Answer

Weather may vary. However, typically in December it is cold, with highs during the day in the 30s and during the evening, lows in the 20s. There may or may not be snow. It's a toss up, so we recommend being prepared. This means bring scarves, gloves, and hats/beanies.

Question

When should we arrive to Estes Park?

Answer

We recommend flying in to Denver, Colorado on Saturday morning. Reason being is the sun sets early in December and we wouldn't want you to drive in a new environment in the dark.
