Food scene
Our friend Melissa started the Bird & Jim several years ago and it is by far our favorite restaurant in Estes. Amazing cocktails for happy hour, and delicious food are the highlights after a long day in Rocky Mountain National Park as it is located just minutes from its exit!

Sightseeing
Lesser known than Rocky Mountain National Park, Lumpy is still in the park proper but much less visited. If you are a runner, you will love the long flatter trails through open fields and aspen groves.

Lake Estes is the reseviour that you pass when you come to town. If you are looking for a nice couple mile walk we highly recommend walking around the North side of the Lake on the paved trail. Often times the Elk are along the golf course or in that general area, just be sure not to get too close!

The Stanley, what else can we say, it was the birth place of Steven Kings idea for the novel "The Shining". They lots going on: Concerts, a hedge maze, delicious (but overpriced) cocktails, evening ghost tours, and it is walking distance from the house.

Hidden Valley used to be an old ski resort in Rocky Mountain National Park. The area is great for late spring snow sledding and winter ski touring. We go there all the time as avalanche hazard is almost no existent since the area is skied so much and because of the low angle. We have sleds at the house if you would like to use them!
