Estes Park is located about 70 miles from the airport, and depending on possible traffic, takes 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Yes! Rocky Mountain National Park uses a Timed Entry Reservation to access the park from 9am to 2pm. Entry before 9am or after 2pm does not require a time entry permit. If you want to make the most out of your time in the National Park, we recommend getting a timed entry permit so you can spend as long as you wish inside the park. Timed Entry Permits for September 2025 will become available August 1st. For more information please go to https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/timed-entry-permit-system.htm
The reception is being held at Full Throttle Distillery which is located in downtown Estes Park. We recommend staying anywhere around downtown, in the many hotels/lodges or booking an Airbnb/Vrbo close to downtown.
Kids are welcome but please keep in mind that the reception will be held at a distillery. If your kiddo isn't listed on your RSVP, please let us know so we can add them!
