Rocky Mountain National Park's 415 square miles (265,807 acres) encompasses a spectacular range of mountain environments. From meadows found in the montane life zone to glistening alpine lakes and up to the towering mountain peaks, there is something for everyone to discover. Along the way explore over 300 miles of hiking trails and incredible wildlife viewing.

This historic hotel is one of oldest (and most grand) in the Estes Valley, plus it’s situated in a prime spot for the maximum panoramic Rocky Mountain views. The Stanley Hotel was built in 1909 by F.O. Stanley (known for the Stanley Steamer) as an upscale resort and wellness destination.

You can now go on night tour at the property to explore the active phenomena and spirit folklore. If you’re more interested in the history and celebrities who have stayed over the years, they offer a daytime tour as well.

The Stanley is more than just a hotel. It’s internationally known for an expansive whiskey bar, home to Colorado’s largest selection of whiskeys and single malt selections. Plus, restaurants, gift shops, and event spaces.

The Estes Park Riverwalk starts at the Visitor Center and goes beside the Big Thompson & Fall Rivers. These two mountain rivers come out of Rocky Mountain National Park and join in the middle of downtown Estes Park. The Riverwalk winds through plazas and downtown Estes Park shops and restaurants.
