We highly recommend visiting Rocky Mountain National Park while you are in town. We hiked to Mills Lake when Chase asked me to Marry him! We have also done the four lakes loop which includes Bear Lake, Nymph Lake and Dream Lake. The whole park is beautiful and every hike we have been on has had incredible views along the way!! Rocky Mountain National Park requires a pass and timed entry time usually, especially during peak times. I have attached the timed entry page, plan ahead if you plan to visit!
A beautiful drive through RMNP on Trail Ridge Road. Great way to see views all through the park. Also, on the other side of the park and this drive is a cute town called Grand Lake that is great place to walk around and visit. Lots of cute shops and pretty lake views. You will still need a timed entry to drive through the park depending on the time of day, so check ahead of time.
Dine here for the best views of Lake Estes with the Rocky Mountains in the background. Excellent food and drinks!
Excellent Cinnamon rolls!
