Estes Park

Estes Park was first enjoyed as an escape from the summer heat by American Indians thousands of years ago. Now, it is enjoyed by people from around the world as a mountain playground with Rocky Mountain National Park right next door. Some consider this area to be quintessential Colorado.

More than just a “town,” Estes Park is host to vacationers and home to residents alike. The village was named after both an early resident, and a term for a geological feature. The early resident was a man by the name of Joel Estes. The geological feature is simply called a "park," a western term for a high mountain valley.
