Things To Do
Rocky Mountain National Park
As the crown jewel of Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park is a must-see for visitors looking to experience Colorado's incredible mountain scenery. Whether you're interested in a leisurely scenic drive, stopping at breathtaking overlooks, spotting wildlife, or exploring one of the park's many hiking trails, there are options for every activity level. During the week of our wedding, timed-entry reservations are not required, making it easy to visit the park at your own pace and enjoy one of the area's most iconic destinations.
The Stanley Hotel
One of Estes Park's most iconic landmarks, The Stanley Hotel is best known for inspiring Stephen King's The Shining. Even if you're not staying at the hotel, it's worth a visit to explore the historic property, take in the mountain views, enjoy a drink at one of its restaurants or bars, or learn more about its fascinating history and famous ghost stories.
Lake Estes Trail
Looking for a leisurely way to enjoy the mountain scenery? The Lake Estes Trail is a paved 3.75-mile path that loops around Lake Estes, offering beautiful views of the water and surrounding mountains. Perfect for walking, jogging, or biking, it's an easy and accessible option for guests who want to get outside without venturing into the more rugged trails of Rocky Mountain National Park.
