  • My family is from Estes Park. I spent a year in my Great Grandmothers house in 69. Great Grandfather worked for Mr. Stanley wiring ranches as one of the first electricians. He opened and operated Estes Park Hardware after he was injured by lightning.

We will continue to leverage" We're in the Rockies" for all of our visits to Utah, YNP ,Teton, etc.. Rick and Steph in Colorado.

    Headed there in July for the 2nd time. My first trip we stayed in Granby. This time we will stay in Estes Park at Paradise on the River. I can’t wait to explore Estes Park and all the shops. We will be in the Rocky Mountain National Park for three full days. We plan on doing some easy hikes and taking lots of pictures. Hopefully, we will see plenty of wildlife. Lots of great advice in this video. And I also would say do your research, look at the maps and have a plan.

    I grew up in Colorado, was in these places many times. They are truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this

    We were just there in early May. It was amazing. We watched one of your other videos which helped us out. We hiked the Emerald Lake trail which was covered in beautiful snow. We thought about other trails but rangers warned of significant avalanche possibilities so we took the trails most traveled. Can't wait to go back.
  • I retire July 1st and will be making several trips west soon. I’m sure I will be getting this guide very soon. I always enjoy each of your videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences. 💕

    Thank you for the informative video. We arrived to RMNP today. We're staying in an RV park right outside the entrance closest to Bear Lake. :) ~Kelli and Wilson

    Sorry to hear you had to re-record so much, but so happy we got to see your dog! 😆😍

    The Spooky Stanley beckons. Along with its world renowned Whisky Bar...T -17 days...by which time I will have completed 70 trips around great ball of fire in sky, Kemosabe! Saddle up, we're burnin' daylight.
  • From Estes Park can we drive Fall River Road into TrailRidge Road and through RMNP?
  • @MichaelOrth
    Is the trail ridge road open yet? It's already June. Wasn't open for Memorial Day.
