Rocky Mountain National Forest — This living showcase of the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, with elevations ranging from 8,000 feet in the wet, grassy valleys to 14,259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Longs Peak, provides visitors with opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures. Elk, mule deer, moose, bighorn sheep, black bears, coyotes, cougars, eagles, hawks and scores of smaller animals delight wildlife-watchers of all ages. Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows and hillsides are splashed with botanical color. Autumn visitors can relax among the golden aspens or enjoy the rowdier antics of the elk rut (mating season).
Sombrero Stables — Join them at their Estes Park location for miles of horseback riding on private trails on a 1000-acre cattle ranch as well as in the National Forest. This is the perfect way to explore this remarkable area. Along the trail you'll enjoy views of the surrounding mountains, some frosted with snow even in July, thickly forested areas, pristine mountain streams and Estes Park's lake below. You may also see wildlife, including coyotes, elk, deer, and longhorn cattle that graze on the ranch.
Stanley Museum — This popular museum houses area history pertaining to FO Stanley's life in early Estes Park, photography, music, steamcars, antiques, books and gifts. gift
