Things To Do
Rocky Mountain National Park
Experience one of the most stunning national parks in the country. In March, expect snowy peaks, quiet trails, and incredible wildlife viewing. Guests can try winter hiking, snowshoeing, sledding or enjoying scenic drives to viewpoints like Many Parks Curve. Because it’s the shoulder season, the park feels calmer than in summer, perfect for anyone wanting mountain scenery without the crowds. We escape to the Rockies whenever possible and are both excited to share them with you.
Downtown Estes Park
A charming mountain downtown filled with local shops, galleries, cafés, and restaurants—great for wandering, eating, and picking up Colorado-made gifts. Guests can explore the Riverwalk, grab a warm drink at a local coffee shop, browse outdoor outfitters, or enjoy cozy taverns and chocolate shops. In March, downtown is lively but not packed, making it easy to stroll, shop, and enjoy the mountain-town atmosphere. Estes Park is also known for being owned by the occasional elk strolling through. Take lots of photos but do not touch the elk!
The Stanley Hotel
Explore Colorado’s most iconic—and famously spooky—landmark. The historic Stanley inspired and was used in the filming of The Shining, and today offers daily tours, beautiful architecture, mountain views, and a classic Estes Park vibe. Great for photos, a cocktail in the whiskey bar or wine bar, or one of their popular ghost/history tours. If you'd like to immerse yourself, you may also consider staying here for the wedding.
