A mere 90 minutes from Denver, U.S. Highway 36 brings you to the entrance of Estes Park and cements the understanding of why many visitors make a return trip every year.

 

Completely surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, the panoramic views in this secluded valley town are unparalleled. A walk along the river can bring you face-to-face with an elk or two, among the many mountain creatures known to frequent Estes Park.
