Things To Do
Rocky Mountain National Park
Our venue is steps away from one of the prettiest National Parks in the US. Take advantage of everything that RMNP has to offer! Whether you're up for a picnic in the park, or a hike on one of the hundreds of amazing trails, you can't go wrong! Just be sure to make reservations IN ADVANCE. RMNP is on a timed-entry system throughout the summer, so make your plans before arriving the week of the wedding.
Sombrero Ranch
Check out what the Rocky Mountains have to offer from the back of a horse! Riding the trails with Sombrero Stables is far beyond a simple trail ride. It is a history lesson, a nature exhibit, a cowboy adventure, and an animal bonding opportunity. Whether riding solo or enjoying the trails with your family, no rider is left unamazed by the splendor of this beautiful state.
Downtown Riverwalk
Both Fall River and the Big Thompson River flow along the backside of Elkhorn Avenue, Estes Park’s main street, and is lined with trees, an easy-to-traverse path, wall art and mural-covered utility boxes painted by local artists. Mom and pop shops offer access to their wares from Riverwalk entrances. It is cooler on this side of Elkhorn and more musical too: trees provide refreshing shade and the sound of the water is soothing in its rush downstream.
Laura's Fine Candies
Lauren has been going to Laura's for as long as she can remember. Head on in and take a bite of some of the best fudge and other sweet treats that Colorado has to offer. Whether you are in the mood for homemade ice cream, hand crafted fudge, or decked-out caramel apples, Laura's has it all!
Stanley Hotel Tours
Whether you are a fan of The Shining or not, the Stanley Hotel offers a number of phenomenal tours! Take a historic daytime tour, or a "spirited" nighttime tour to pass the time. You can't go wrong either way!
Estes Park Aerial Tramway
Take a ride up the mountain for some breathtaking views of downtown Estes Park! While you are up there, don't forget to buy a bag of peanuts and feed the chipmunks too. To avoid crowds, it is best to go early morning or late afternoon.
Mustang Mountain Coaster
Hold on to your hats! The mountain coaster offers an exhilarating experience for the whole family. Pick from a multi-day pass, a 3-ride pass, or a single-ride pass. You can't go wrong spending your day racing down the mountain.
Backbone Adventures
Check out the beautiful Rocky Mountains from behind the wheel of a motor vehicle! Backbone adventures allows you take a wild ride on your choice of Jeeps, UTVs, ATVs, dirt bikes, and mountain bikes! Choose from one of their beautiful recommended trails to have the ride of your life!
