Activity itinerary

Estes Park
  • 5m
This beautiful town is a the place to stop before your trip. There’s one seasonal cafe and no gas in Rocky Mountain National Park, so make sure to stock up on all the supplies you need before you get there. There’s numerous picnic areas in the park, so keep that in mind when shopping. Estes Park has plenty of shops and petrol stations, and if you’re coming from farther away, you’ll have even more options.
Beaver Meadows Visitor Center
  • 15m
Here’s a perfect place to pick up a trail map. It’s chock full of information that’ll help you decide which trails are right before you. It also has park maps, bathrooms, gifts and souvenirs.
Moraine Park Discovery Center
  • 15m
This is a wonderful place to learn about the park’s geology and history. In fact, the building itself has quite the historical significance. It’s the last standing building that was part of the Moraine Park Lodge, a place popular with tourists when the park was a popular holiday destination.
Bear Lake Trail
  • 15m
At the Bear Lake Trailhead you’ll have the option to hike several different trails. The quickest, and most popular, is the Bear Lake Trail which takes around 15 minutes. But there’s others that range from 30 minutes to 2.5 hours.
Glacier Gorge Junction Trailhead
  • 1h 45m
Like most trailheads in the park, this one also offers access to several different trails. Many are long though! If you’re up for an easy, just over three-hour hike, we recommend the Glacier Gorge Trail. It’s popular for birding and camping.
Bierstadt Lake
  • 1h 45m
Just over three miles long, this trail is popular for snowshoeing, horseback riding, and of course, a gorgeous lake.
Horseshoe Park
  • 5m
What gives this valley its name is the glacial melt that carved it into the shape of a horseshoe millions of years ago. Today, it’s home to spacious meadows that attract wildlife.
Sheep Lakes
  • 30m
As the name suggests, here you’ll find park information and exhibits. It’s located right by the four beautiful Sheep Lakes. It’s also a popular spot for bighorn sheep and elk.
Alluvial Fan Trail
  • 10m
What’s an alluvial fan, you ask? Well, it’s where water cascades over boulders moved there by a massive flood in 1982. A sort of waterfall, really. This easy trail passes right by it.
Beaver Ponds
  • 5m
Here you can take a five-minute walk along a boardwalk through wetlands created by beavers. Long ago beavers built a dam and organic material gathered behind it. Once it collapsed, that soil flowed out, creating the wetlands there today.
Hidden Valley Trail
  • 15m
At this peaceful stop, you’ll find an easy, half-mile nature trail, picnic tables, and flush toilets. It’s a lovely place to stretch your legs and breathe in the fresh air.

Tundra Communities Trail
  • 30m
This one-mile trail features interpretive signs about the flora and fauna that live in the tundra. You’ll also get to see the Mushroom Rocks, boulders that are over a billion years old and they look like, well, you can imagine.
Lava Cliffs Overlook
  • 5m
The cliffs you’ll see from here are made of the only volcanic rock in the park. They’re part of the Never Summer Mountain Range and are actually the park’s youngest.
Gore Range Overlook
  • 5m
Here you’ll see awesome views of Gore Range, the Never Summer Mountains, and the flat-top of Longs Peak.
Alpine Visitor Center
  • 30m
At the highest elevation visitor centre in any national park, you’ll find a seasonal cafe and the usual offerings from a place like this. This is the only place where you can grab a bite to eat in the park. There are also epic views from the nearby Alpine Ridge Trail.
Medicine Bow Curve
  • 5m
From this gorgeous overlook, you’ll see the Medicine Bow Mountains, La Poudre River, and Wyoming on a clear day. Keep an eye out for wild life too.
Milner Pass
  • 5m

This is home to a half-mile loop around Lake Irene. Across the street from there is Sheep Rock, where bighorn sheep like to sunbathe.

Coyote Valley Trailhead
  • 20m
This is an easy, riverside, one-mile trail that’s wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly.
Bowen Gulch Trail
  • 10m
Since this trail is 15-miles long, the attraction is really walking along the river and exploring this beautiful area. Take a stroll along part of it and turn back when you’re done enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Originally homesteaded by two sisters, today this area is a gorgeous meadow with picnic tables. It’s also a popular place with wildlife.
