what’s the best thing about Estes Park?

We bought a house in Estes Park, and some friends can't understand why we didn't choose places like Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, Telluride, or Durango. I had my reasons, mainly the natural beauty and our homes is on The Big Thompson River and I like to fly fish. I can’t afford Beaver Creek or Aspen unless I own a lot of Bitcoin I didn’t know about.

Still it made me wonder why you and really so many others love Estes Park, whether visiting or staying long.

I enjoy that the best hamburger stand is part of a gas station, that more elk than people are downtown early on Sunday mornings, and that it feels like a welcoming small town rather than a place to be seen. For me, Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the top five parks worldwide. I'm curious—what do you like about Estes Park?

The photos of my wife and me are from a year or two ago, while these are from yesterday. We received 25 inches of snow, which will greatly help alleviate the drought. The first picture of the car is a friend‘s vehicle with 35-inch tires, and you can see that if you didn’t have this kind of ground clearance, you probably weren’t going many places, and Estes Park today.
