Top things to do in Estes Park

Estes Park is the kind of mountain town that makes you want to slow down and breathe deeper. Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, it’s packed with alpine charm, scenic drives, and wildlife sightings right outside your window.

Whether you’re hiking trails or browsing local shops — what you do during your visit should be as memorable as the towering mountains. We cut through the noise and filtered out the fluff.

These are the top 5 activities travelers genuinely rave about.

#5 Mtn Adventure Park

Shared by Gavin Brooks – 64 ❤️

“We channeled our inner kids and went all in — ropes course, zip lines, even that mountain slide we weren’t sure about until it was too late. Screams, laughter, and more than a few high-fives. Zero regrets.”

#4 Morning Wildlife Tour

Shared by Darius Smith – 86 ❤️

“We bundled up before dawn and followed a guide into the stillness of Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk herds grazed in silence, eagles soared overhead, and the sunrise lit up the peaks in pinks and golds. It was spiritual — no other word for it.”

Shared by Chandler Ford – 105 ❤️

“We wrapped things up with tacos, margaritas, and good ol’ small-town warmth. Ed’s delivered bold flavors with zero pretense — from spicy shrimp tacos to green chile enchiladas. We toasted to a weekend that hit all the right notes.”

#2 Grounding Mountain Air

Shared by Michael Long – 119 ❤️

“Let’s relive our Estes Park Exploration 🏔️✨ It felt like the earth slowed down for us — towering pines, crisp air that whispered in your lungs, and mountains that made you look up more than down. Estes wasn’t loud. It was grounding. A love letter to nature, written in granite and sky.”

#1 Wapiti Pub

Shared by Deb Fowler – 139 ❤️

“High-up views and down-to-earth vibes. Local beers, hearty burgers, and the kind of casual patio hang that makes you forget what day it is. We stayed long after our plates were clean, watching the clouds drift across the peaks.”
