Alpine adventure meets Old West charm, where elk burgers and local brews are always on the menu.
Estes Park’s high alpine scenery is reason enough to pay a visit. Even better are all the ways you can experience the Rocky Mountains up close. Follow winding trails to mirror-like lakes. Ascend to the summit of Prospect Peak — at 12,620 feet above sea level. When you return to town, wander the charming Old West streets to sample elk burgers and sip local beers. And be sure to come back in the winter for epic skiing, snowboarding and other seasonal sports.
