The Area | Suzi & DH at Estes Park Welcome Monument |
Estes Park, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, is home to Rocky Mountain National Park; herds of elk, big horn sheep, bobcats, bear, mountain lions, and numerous smaller mammals; hiking trails; horseback riding; & hunting & fishing.
And don't forget the town, itself - there's shopping; dining; walking along the river; slides and miniature golf for the kids; an aerial tram . . . |
|  | The Aspens Estes Park is absolutely amazing during the first of October! The aspens, which grow in clumps amongst the evergreens, are a brilliant yellow with an occasional bit of orange or red thrown in. The effect is extraordinary! |
| | Elk Fest The first weekend in October sees the celebration of the beginning of the elk rutting season in and around Estes Park. These amazing bulls begin collecting their harems and proving their prowess by bugling and challenging all comers. |
