... Read moreEstes Park, located in the Rocky Mountain National Park, is renowned for its stunning fall colors that attract tourists and nature enthusiasts each year. The best time to witness the fall foliage typically occurs in late September to mid-October when the aspens turn vibrant shades of yellow, gold, and orange. This mountainous area offers a variety of trails perfect for hiking during the fall season, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the stunning landscape. In addition to hiking, there are numerous scenic drives, such as the Trail Ridge Road, which provide breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains adorned with fall colors. Wildlife viewing is another highlight, as elk and other animals are commonly spotted during this time of year. Local events, such as crafts fairs and harvest festivals, also add to the charm of Estes Park in the fall. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the picturesque vistas and vibrant landscapes that make Estes Park a perfect fall getaway.

A lot of people visit Coffee on the Rocks during the summer, but it’s just as magical in the winter. ❄️ Grab a hot latte or cocoa, sit by pond, and soak in the views. 🦆 You can even grab some duck food to feed the ducks outside—such a cute and relaxing spot! 📍 Coffee on the Rocks 510 Moraine Av

In June, I spend my birthday weekend in Estes Park — here’s what I recommend doing if you’re traveling there too! ☕️ Get coffee at Coffee on the Rocks — it’s a short drive on the edge of town and they have a really beautiful pond and area along the river that you can enjoy and walk around.

The Rocky Mountain National Park is a large park with scenic mountain view’s. Unfortunately, this was just a drive through park for us on our road trip out west, but there were many views to see along the way. We stayed right outside the national park in Estes Park that sits on a beautiful lake.
