Things To Do
Stanley Hotel
If you like spooky things, this is the hotel where The Shining was filmed! It's a cool place just to check out, and if you want to book a ghost tour they have those as well. It is supposedly haunted!
Rocky Mountain National Park
Rock Mountain National Park is one of the main attractions near Estes Park! A popular and beautiful very easy site to see is Bear Lake. There are town shuttles that can take you to Rocky Mountain National Park, or if you have a rental car you can see it that way as well! There are many other trails in Rocky Mountain as well, we would recommend using AllTrails to see what best fits the hike you are looking for. Below are the websites for the shuttles and All Trails. (As of now there is a timed entry permit need to visit the park between the hours of 9am-2pm, so if you plan on visiting the park during those hours make sure you go to the website and book that in advance!) https://www.alltrails.com/ https://estes-park.com/free-shuttle-buses/
Lake Estes Marina
Another great activity in Estes Park is the Lake Estes Marina. There are rentals for boats, canoes, kayaks, or you can just sunbathe on the shore. The Estes Lake Trail winds around the main lake and runs for about 3.75 miles, so you can also hike or rent a bike!
Estes Park
There really are so many options for what to do in Estes Park, we can't list them all! This is a great website that has so many recommendations for things to do and places to eat. It really just depends on what you're looking for!
