What To Expect

Estes Park

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 gas stations, and if you’re coming from farther away, you’ll have even more options.

Beaver Meadows Visitor Center

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.

Bierstadt Lake

Just over three miles long, this trail is popular for snowshoeing, horseback riding, and of course, a gorgeous lake.

Horseshoe Park

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

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.

Many Parks Curve Overlook

From this one you’ll see Horseshoe Park, Moraine Park, and Beaver Meadows. There are viewing platforms around the entire curve for different perspectives.

Rainbow Curve Overlook

And another! This stop is a viewpoint above the treeline. You’ll see unobstructed views of nearby peaks and valleys.

A short walk through the tundra at the overlook affords visitors a view down into a river flowing through a canyon. You’ll see Hayden Gorge and Gorge Lakes.

Bowen Gulch Trail

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.

Kawuneeche Visitor Center
