Estes Park Lodging and Visitors Guide
The Seasons

     Every season in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, offers different rewards to those seeking new experiences.

Picture of Summer      Summer, of course, the most popular season, offers the greatest variety of activities. Hiking, horseback riding, fishing, golf, white-water rafting and boating to name a few. The days are warm and sunny while the nights are cool and clear. Advanced reservations for lodging is highly recommended.




Picture of Spring      Springtime in the Rockies is unpredictable, which gives it a special charm. You may spend one day on the deck soaking up some high altitude sunshine, the next sitting in front of the fire place watching it snow. The following day you shop for a swimsuit while the melting snow gurgles toward the river, and the next hiking up to Gem Lake for a packed lunch. If you let the weather plan your activities, your trip can be a true adventure.


Picture of Fall      Fall is a time for wildlife, nature and festivals. The animals are in their prime and the spectacle of the majestic Elk in their mating ritual is a lifetime experience that brings people from around the world. In September, Estes Park hosts the Longs Peak Scottish Highlands Festival, which has become one of the highest rated festivals in the country. Hiking the mountains in the fall is the best, with cool clear days, little rain and fewer people.

Picture of Winter      Winter in Estes Park is milder than one would think, and brings a sparkling beauty that is magical. Colorado Lifestyles magazine has called Rocky Mountain National Park "The Most Beautiful Place On Earth," in the winter. Snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and shopping are favorites, while others come for a romantic get-a-way, retreat, or relaxation. Look for special lodging packages! 


     Every season is worth the trip, and the people of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park will always be here to greet you.
