It is best known as the eastern gateway and headquarters of Rocky Mountain National Park.
The town lies in a natural meadow (a “park”) surrounded by forests and mountains, on the Big Thompson River.
Estes Park is a popular tourist destination with activities such as hiking, wildlife spotting (elks, bighorn sheep), shopping in the cozy town center, and the famous Stanley Hotel (inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining).
It is a year-round vacation destination for nature and outdoor enthusiasts.
