Toughluck Says: Located on a rise, north of town is the historic Stanley Hotel. Opened in 1909 by F.O. Stanley, the owner of the Stanley Steamers, the hotel served as the residence for many early visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park. Guest were picked up from the train station is...
Yorick12 Says: The "chapel on the rock" is now part of a nonprofit religious retreat facility. The chapel was designed by Jacques Benedict and made out of native stone that was hulled by mule to the site. Just incredible.
Yorick12 Says: No visit to Estes Park is complete without a visit to the Stanley. The hotel is now over 100 years old! It's most famous for inspiring Steven King's novel "The Shining." The hotel does not allow visitors to freely wander the hallways if you're staying, but the lobby, gift...

The Egg and I: a wide variety of sandwiches and breakfast items
Rich62 Says: We eat whenever possible at these restaurants, located in Fort Collins, Loveland, and Estes Park (also in Kearney, Nebraska). the only downside is that, due to their popularity, there is often a waiting line to be seated. We try to go early for lunch (11:30 or so) and that...

Penelope's Old Fashion Hamburgers: Best Hamburger and Fries in Town
WanderingAimlessly Says: This is not a fancy place to have lunch or dinner at, but it had a small town burger joint atmosphere that was refreshing. They had a good menu but the hamburgers and fries are their best items. They were inexpensive and the meal hit the spot. A handmade hamburger and fresh...
Dunraven Inn: Local Style Italian Food
Jewelslover Says: This place has a local feel (the staff seemed to know alot of the patrons) and great Italian food. It's a must if you like Italian. This restaurant has been around for a long time and has quite a good reputation. I would definately make a reservation before you go. Make sure...
Cascades: Dining at the "Shining" Hotel
Etoile2B Says: Cascades is one of the restaurants housed in the historic Stanley Hotel. It’s got a well-appointed dining room and the food is good. It’s nothing special but it’s not bad either. If you’re staying at the Stanley or just visiting the grounds it’s a decent place to grab some...
The Egg and I: Breakfast With An OLE
johngayton Says: As might be eggs-spected (HA!) from the name this chain of Colorado and Texas restaurants (there's a couple of other branches scattered around the country) specialises in breakfasts. Delish they are too with the menu covering pretty much everything that you could possibly...
The Wheel Bar, Kellys, and Lonagans: The only 3 bars in town
VinoVeritas Says: There are three bars that are open till 2am. Kelly's is a bar that is geared for the younger crowd. As you walk up the stairs you will see painted photos of Diddy, and other celebrities. It is usually featuring hip hop and dancing. Lonagans is branded as an Irish pub. It is...

Estes Park Pie Shop & Bakery: Estes Park Pie Shop - YUM!
SuzanneT Says: We discovered this pie shop, which is relatively new, on a recent visit to Estes Park. It sits on the East end of town down by Ed's Cantina and it's really a find! The owners make everything from scratch and it's a lot more than just pie. The sticky buns are out of this...

The Taffy Shop: An Estes Park landmark:
Rich62 Says: Since 1935, the Taffy Shop has been a staple of the Estes Park retail scene. Kids love watching the rotating arms of the taffy machine in the window. Its been there a long time and still makes great taffy. There are many different flavors. You can just ask for a mixed box...
Shaken_Bake Says: Often people coming from the "flatlands" are concerned about the possibility of altitude sickness when they visit the Rockies. Estes Park is only at 7,500 feet and therefore is not as risky as other areas above 8,000 feet for people whose systems are not used to living at...
Toughluck Says: Seated under the 'Two Owls' is McGregors Ranch. It's open to the public and once was the source of supplies for the town of Estes Park. It's a great opportunity to get out and see a western ranch. Seated in a bowl, the views south are fabulous. For more pictures and...
NEBRASKA IN THE MIDDLE OF COLORADO
Rich62 Says: The Husker Nation is everywhere, even in the middle of Colorado. This store, known as "Big Red of the Rockies", has been featured in many newspapers stories and on tv as well. Inside you can find everything Husker: autographed helmets, posters, t-shirts, etc. Of course...
Toughluck Says: On the southwest side, where the road splits to lead south towards another eastside entrance and the other road continues directly into the National Park and the Beaver Meadow Visitor Center is National Park Village. Full supplies, a very nice restaurant and some interesting...
