More than 200 retailers, restaurants and attractions line the downtown along Elkhorn and Moraine avenues, a smattering that rivals any mall-especially when it comes to the signature sweets. One of the best parts: They're independently owned businesses. Chain stores won't be found here, which means guests find unique treasures, gifts and mementos.
Eldora is the closest ski resort to Estes Park. Eldora has 12 lifts with an uphill capacity of 11,500 skiers per hour, 53 trails on 680 acres, and one terrain park. Eldora usually opens by Thanksgiving and stays open until mid April.
