Learn more about hotels in Estes Park

Historically, Estes Park was a beloved abode of the Arapaho Indians before Europeans set foot. The town takes its name from Joel Estes, a Missouri native who founded the community in 1859. Over time, it gained popularity, primarily due to its proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park, dedicated in 1915, and as a health retreat spot, especially for those suffering from pulmonary diseases.

Estes Park has seen its share of trials and triumphs, including a significant setback due to severe flooding in 1982, but it has always risen stronger. Today, it hosts close to four million tourists annually, who find solace in its diverse offerings and beautiful landscapes. Commuting is easy, with Denver International Airport located 75 miles away and Estes Transit offering free shuttle service in the summer months.

When to visit Estes Park

When considering the best time for a visit to Estes Park, June to September remains the top recommendation for families. This period offers warm weather, which lends itself perfectly to exploring the town's many attractions comfortably. It's also ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking or indulging in a spot of fly-fishing. In contrast, if autumnal hues are more your palette, plan your visit around late September to marvel at the region’s stunning fall colours.

For the more adventurous, winter brings its own set of challenges and attractions. Although options may be limited, snow activities like snowshoeing and skiing present unique opportunities for enthusiasts. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Estes Park is sure to offer you a memorable experience with its unique blend of history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality.
