Rocky Mountain National Park is just 4 miles from our wedding venue, making it an easy and unforgettable stop during your time in Estes Park. From peaceful meadows and wildlife viewing to alpine lakes, snowy trails, and dramatic mountain views, there’s something magical to explore in every season.

If renting a car or planning to drive into the park, be prepared for winter driving conditions.

Buckle up and ride down 2000 linear feet of one of Estes Park's most iconic horse ranches! All the fun of a trail ride, on a different kind of horse!

Fun for families with the ability to accommodate kiddos as young as 3 years old. Open year round.

The Stanley Hotel, built in 1909 by F.O. Stanley, is one of the Estes Valley’s oldest and most grand hotels. Originally conceived as an upscale resort and wellness retreat, it also has notable pop-culture ties: Stephen King stayed one snowy night and was inspired to write The Shining, and the hotel appears in films like Dumb and Dumber (the bride's favorite!).

The Stanley offers nighttime paranormal tours that explore its ghost lore, plus daytime history tours that highlight the hotel’s architecture, famous guests, and local significance.
