TRAVEL IN ESTES PARK
While a car is highly recommended for exploring the area, Estes Park offers a convenient free summer transit service, "The Peak," from late May to late October providing easy access to destinations within Estes Park and the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.
You can walk downtown (1/2) Mile away.
WINTER DRIVING
Estes Park's snow plow crew is excellent, ensuring regular clearing during snowstorms. However, significant blizzards can cause delays. Given our 8,000-foot elevation and heavy snowfall from October to May, we strongly recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles. Our maintenance team will plow/shovel the driveway. We also provide shovels and ice melt at the property for your convenience.
