If you ask Curtis, no Colorado trip is complete without spending some time on the water! Fly fishing is one of his favorite hobbies, and he would love for others to enjoy the same peaceful rivers, beautiful scenery, and little moments of adventure that make it so special. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking to try something new, it’s a great way to slow down and take in the beauty of the Rockies. Who knows, you may even catch a fish or two!

Take a trip through Estes Park history with a visit to The Stanley Hotel! This iconic landmark is known for its beautiful architecture, mountain views, and its famous (and slightly spooky) connection to The Shining. Whether you stop by for a tour, a drink, or just to explore the grounds, it’s a fun piece of Estes Park history to check out.

Just minutes from Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park is a must-see while you’re in the area! Take a scenic drive, explore the trails, spot some wildlife, and soak in the incredible mountain views.

If you’re up for a quick trip down to Denver, the Rockies will be in town in May! Grab a seat and enjoy some sunshine at Coors Field.

Feeling brave? Take your ballpark snacks to the next level with a Glizzilla, a true home run of a hot dog!

Looking for a relaxing afternoon in Estes Park? Stop by Snowy Peaks Winery for a taste of Colorado wine while enjoying the mountain views. Grab a tasting flight, browse their selection of locally crafted wines, and enjoy a slower-paced adventure during your time in town.

Take a ride up the mountain for some of the best views of Estes Park and the surrounding Rocky Mountains. The Aerial Tramway is a great option for all ages, offering a chance to experience the beauty of the area without needing to hike. Don’t forget your camera, the views from the top are worth it!

Estes Park has plenty of local breweries and distilleries to enjoy. Grab a craft beer, cocktail, or tasting flight and take in the mountain views at spots like Rock Cut Brewing Company, Lumpy Ridge Brewing Co., Estes Park Distilling Co., or Hogback Distillery.

If you have some extra time during your Colorado stay, take a trip to Golden! This town holds a special place in our hearts since it is where Curtis grew up. Spend the day exploring historic downtown, walking along Clear Creek, checking out local shops, taking a tour of the Coors Brewery, or enjoying the beautiful views from Lookout Mountain.

Of course, we have to share a few of our favorite Golden spots! Grab a pizza at Woody's Wood-Fired Pizza, enjoy one of our go-to meals at Bonfire Burritos, and stop by Barrels & Bottles for a wine slushy (a must for Ally!). These are a few of the places that make Golden feel special to us, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

While the wedding weekend may come to an end, our Colorado adventure continues! We’ll be heading to Glenwood Springs after the wedding to relax, explore, and soak in a little more of what Colorado has to offer. If you’re also extending your stay, we’d love to have you join us for more memories, laughs, and time together after the big day.
