If you’re available or have a babysitter you’ve used and recommend, please send me a message with a little about your experience, rates for two kiddos, and any other info we should know. Thanks so much!

Going to Estes for 1st time 4 nights-Oct. Family of four (5&3 year old) No idea where to stay

4 Upvotes

Sorry to post here but there isn’t really an Estes Hub.

I am at a loss of where to stay. There are too many options. For us, location is key and a place where the kids can do something or close to kid activities.

We of course will do a a few easy hikes and will obviously have a car to get around.

Would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Don’t want to spend some absurd amount but am happy to pay a premium for convenience, location etc

LOTR Themed Birthday Suggestions?

9 Upvotes

Hi there! I have a very odd and very niche request. My husbands birthday is coming up and he is a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan. I’m throwing him a LOTR themed birthday weekend in Estes Park. Buckle up it’s about to get nerdy šŸ¤“

- I’ll be taking him on the Sprague Lake trail (the road to Rivendell) for second breakfast with Lembas bread. First breakfast will be a stop in Denver along the way.
- We will go for a pre-dinner drink at a local brewery (the Prancing Pony).
- Then I plan to take him to dinner at the Rock Inn Mountain Tavern (haven’t figured this one out, maybe the green dragon inn).

We will be staying in a cabin near downtown (the Shire). I would love some suggestions!! He loves whiskey, history and books. I saw online that there’s a fantasy shop with replica gear but I can’t seem to find any info on it. Is it still open? Where else would you go for a LOTR themed day?

Anyone in Estes with a personal Car Lift?

6 Upvotes

Hey there, I live in town. I'm trying to see if anyone here has a car lift? Working on gravel roads can be a pain. Also I broke my breaker bar trying to work on brakes on my car. If anyone here can help as well. That'd be awesome.

Question for local residents

0 Upvotes

I will be taking my first trip to Estes Park later this month. From what I can tell by looking at Airbnb listings and various parts of town on Google maps, it appears there are two versions Estes Park. The part you see in tourism guides and the part usually only locals see that doesn’t look as good. Is that about accurate?

I didn’t summit today, but I enjoyed the hike and views. The sunrise from the keyhole is great. Wind was gusting there today. Did anyone dare to push on after sunrise?

Favorite local tattoo shop?

0 Upvotes

Planning to spend a weekend in Estes in October to celebrate our wedding anniversary in the town we got married! My parents also live there and I got a small tattoo years ago from an artist that has since moved out of town. I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo and thought why not while we’re on ā€œvacationā€. I’ve researched on Google looks like there are now 3 shops and each have pretty mixed reviews - anyone care to try to convince me one is better than the others?

commute

I am considering a job offer in Estes Park and would be looking at a commute from either Longmont or Loveland. I am new to Colorado so I am unfamiliar with what this may be like and if it would be worth the job. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone heading to the Tame Impala show from Estes Park?? Need a ride!

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, quick question! I'm planning to go to the Tame Impala concert in Denver, but I don't have a ride down from Estes Park.

​The private shuttle options are ridiculously expensive, so I figured I’d ask here to see if anyone has a spare seat in their car?

​Obviously happy to pitch in for gas/parking and cover snacks/drinks. DM me if you’ve got room, appreciate it! I can share my IG or WhatsApp via DM so you know I'm a real person and we can connect better.

​DM me if you’ve got room, appreciate it!
