Estes Park CO has made it into our top ten cities

It is one of those reminders of why I love the west so much

And, the Route 34 drive into Estes Park is a real winner - if ya ever get the chance, this is a run full of beautiful twisties

If anyone is from Estes Park, give me a PM please!

Won't you be jealous when I pick it for my relocation

But, if you can drive it blindfolded, you're gutsy - we saw dozens of deer, and they liked crossing the roads.

So, is it such a big tourist attraction solely because it's the entry point to the Rocky Mountain National Park, or is there more too it than that?

Estes Park is also my favorite vacation destination. I've been there probably 15 times since I was a kid. Breathtaking scenery everywhere you look. Definitely the place for top down motoring!

That's pretty much it's main draw-winter skiing was eliminated years ago, if you drive Trail Ridge Rd, you'll pass the bottom of the sky hill, and a few years back the old lifts up top were finally removed too.

Just head into Rocky about dusk, park in the Horseshoe Park area, and listen to the elk bugle...it doesn't get any better than that!! Elk are pretty much a common commodity now, years ago we would go sit and wait, at dusk, hoping to spot one...now you're gonna trip over them everywhere, including the golf course in town!

Well that one's in Rocky-or just outside-that's the Mummy Range in the background-Mt Ypsilon to the far left, and Mt Fairchild on the right!

Ok. I know I passed through there on my way in/out of RMNP. Just can't tell the difference, but the photo sequence puts me somewhere in the ball park.

How many towns are there between Boulder and Estes Park?

second looks like it was taken from SR 7, I see the Twin Owls, which means the Stanley is just out of view, below 'Lumpy Ridge'.
Third pic is Longs Peak just out of the pic to the left, Mt Meeker, and Flattop Mtn going left to right-all in Rocky
