We first visited RMNP together in March 2024, when the snow was knee-deep and the park ranger nearly turned us around for not having four-wheel drive. Needless to say, we’re thrilled to be returning during the summer when the trails are clear, the wildflowers are blooming, and we (hopefully) won’t need snow boots!
Stroll through charming boutique shops, browse local art galleries, sample sweet treats from the famous saltwater taffy stores, and savor the flavors of Estes Park’s many local restaurants. And of course, be sure to pop into the cozy coffee shops for a warm pick-me-up.
Famous for inspiring The Shining, this historic hotel offers tours, dining, and gorgeous photo opportunities.
