Weddings and Adventures in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National park
My mother and I flew out to Colorado for my cousins wedding up in Estes Park. What a beautiful town. During some of our downtime we explored a bit of Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Estes Park.

We started the day driving into Rocky Mountain National park. The views and the wild life did not disappoint. All along the road through the Park we were treated to mountain vistas and beautiful scenery. The road switched back up the mountains until we came to a gate where the road became snow covered and unsafe.
Even though we only toured a small section of this park it made a huge impact or me. I look forward to coming back out and hiking around some of these smaller peaks and exploring some trails.
Our first night in town we stayed at a wonderful Airbnb with lots of room for family and friends to gather. There were a number of bedrooms, a separate apartment on the house and a huge indoor swimming pool.
The following two nights we stayed at a cabin at the Della Terra Mountain Chateau (wedding venue) right at the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The cabin (MacGreggor) had three bedrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room. It was very cozy and it was nice to be on the same property as the wedding. The wedding itself was beautiful. The reception was a lot of fun with great food and drinks.
Between many of our trips between the Cabin and the Airbnb we were able to see a lot of Elk and even some Big Horned Sheep. The wild life here is amazing.
I wish we had more time to spend in this area but there is always next time. If you find yourself in Estes Park, make sure to take time to explore the town. It really has a lot to offer and if you don’t pay attention you might miss something.
