If you have a free day during your visit, don’t miss one of our greatest National Parks. At the foot of the park is the town of Estes Park that features a tourist-y Main Street with shopping, restaurants, ice cream shops and—for some reason—salt water taffy. The iconic Stanley Hotel, the inspiration for Stephen King’s “The Shining” is also located in Estes Park. The park itself features wildlife, waterfalls, mountain vistas and hikes ranging from intermediate to expert.
For those visiting from out of town, this would be a great place to stock up your kitchenette. Located just one block from A-Lodge this market also features a deli. Just a few more steps and you can dine by the St. Vrain River at the picturesque Lavern M. Johnson Park
