Get to know Estes Park with Viator

The basecamp for Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park—on the park’s eastern side, about a 90- minute drive from Denver—absolutely bustles. Mountain-seeking travelers, families on their summer vacations, and outdoor-loving nomads are all looking for backcountry adventure with access to trendy bars, restaurants, and hotels. Come fall, the city also hums with the elk migration; the wild creatures are often seen bugling their way across town in this can’t-miss event.
