Estes Park, Colorado is the base camp for amazing year-round adventures in Rocky Mountain National Park. Hike, bike or horseback ride some of the magnificent trails – there are more than 300 miles of trails to chose from. If you are looking for a less energetic way of admiring the region, opt for the Estes Park Aerial Tram which whisks you above the treetops to the summit of Prospect Mountain.
At the Lake Estes Marina, visitors can rent canoes, lake kayaks, motorized fishing boats, pontoon boats, and paddle boats. With the Big Thompson River running through the village, Estes Park is a mountain anglers dream. In downtown Estes Park you will find over 200 retailers, restaurants and attractions. You never know you may even bump into an elk wandering through town. Visitors are as likely to run into an elk as one of the many artists who find inspiration here.
