Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most beautiful spots in the country. We love hiking here or even just going for a drive and looking at the incredible scenery. Unless you have a national parks pass, there is an entrance fee of $30 per vehicle. They have hikes of all difficulty, from a one-mile loop around Sprague Lake (our engagement spot) to a 10.3 mile climb up Hallett Peak. Please do your research and prepare properly before embarking on a long hike.
We love Estes Park! (in case you couldn't tell)There are plenty of shops and restaurants to fill your day with. The amount of ice cream shops per capita in Estes Park is about 3. Downtown Estes Park is within walking distance from the venue and surrounding lodging. Some of our favorite spots are Claire's, Notchtop Bakery and Cafe, The Egg of Estes (formerly Egg & I), Penelope's burgers, and The Barrel.
