Inside the village, you can stroll the Riverwalk, cast a line in Fall River, or make a stop for ice cream. Peaks rise all around, from 8,500 feet to more than 14,000 feet, rendering gorgeous views in every direction. In the warmer months, head to one of many nearby patios to enjoy those panoramas, plus good food and a locally-made bottle of wine. When the temperatures drop, move indoors, tucking into a table near a roaring fire to savor wild game, delicious ethnic dishes or maybe a hearty steak. Shops and galleries present a variety that spins from practical to whimsical. Wildlife is still so plentiful that the elk wandering downtown seem like the official welcoming committee. Indeed, guests are as likely to run into an elk as one of the many artists who find inspiration here. Painters often set up on the sidewalks, in parks or along the river. Other artists work in galleries or studios, shaping bronze into animals or blowing glass into exquisite bowls. More than 200 retailers, restaurants and attractions line the downtown along Elkhorn and Moraine avenues, a smattering that rivals any mall-especially when it comes to the signature sweets. One of the best parts: They're independently owned businesses. Chain stores won't be found here, which means guests find unique treasures, gifts and mementos. Some of the buildings feature rustic timber framing, reminiscent of Estes Park's homesteading era. Others have been updated and re-purposed, revealing the evolution of this unpretentious mountain village.

Rocky Mountain National Park, established in 1915, is a living showcase of the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. With elevations ranging from 8,000 feet in the wet, grassy valleys to 14,259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Longs Peak, a visitor to the park has opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures. Elk, mule deer, moose, bighorn sheep, black bears, coyotes, cougars, eagles, hawks and scores of smaller animals delight wildlife-watchers of all ages. Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows and hillsides are splashed with botanical color. Autumn visitors can relax among the golden aspens or enjoy the rowdier antics of the elk rut during mating season.
