Things To Do
Rocky Mountain National Park
With the arrival of crisp, cooler air, fewer hours of daylight, and leaves changing from green to hues of gold, orange, red, and brown, and the sound of bull elk bugling in meadows, fall is a special time of year to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. Timed Entry Reservations are required to enter RMNP during certain hours of the day from late May to mid-October. Visit their website for more details.
Lake Estes
Chances are you spotted Lake Estes on your drive into town, but what is there to do there? Lake Estes offers the obvious things any Colorado mountain lake would - fishing for beautiful trout, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and boating. The Lake Estes Marina offers rentals of kayaks, paddle boards and even a pontoon boat to get you out on the water. Lake Estes is ringed by the 3.75-mile, aptly named Lake Estes Trail.
