There are chipmunks at this lake and they will eat anything you leave :)

Estes Park is my favorite place in the world. ♥️

Gem Lake is such an awesome hike, so easy yet such an a big reward once you get to the top.

and a delightful mixture of the two.

Hey that’s Gem Lake, got engaged to my wife near those two trees to the right back in 2017! Wonderful place with a great view!

wow!

Estes Park is beautiful. Emerald lake is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen

Awesome photo. Thanks for not calling it fire and ice :)

We saw a moose family at Bierstadt one year!

Drink lots of water the week leading up to it. Light effort the first day there. If you come up 36, there is a market in Lyons that makes excellent sandwiches that are perfect for eating on the trail!

Spent a week in Estes Park 3 years ago. Was an amazing place

Chipmunk stole my wallet for nut money last time I was there.

Makes me sad to see such lovely weather. Last three times I’ve gone were rainy, snowy, and blizzard. Only time I’ve gone when weather was amazing took three hours to get in because a U.S. mail truck had driven over the side and was barely hanging on from falling down the side of the mountain. Only time I got to stay in Estes at a time share for three straight days it was 100+ mph wind gusts and white out conditions. I just want to see it on a beautiful day!!!

I've been to that spot, it's so serene. Lots of elk always nearby.

I have BEEN to Estes Park! Saw my first ever moose. It was a young calf, but a moose nonetheless.

I was also very disappointed to learn, halfway through the expensive tour, that The Shining was not actually filmed at The Stanley Hotel. The movie was filmed in the UK using a model of The Stanley. We even had a drink at "Lloyd's bar" beforehand : (

it was a high in Denver of 35F

I live Estes park!

That's pollution over us

Aww I wanted to share my Estes Park shot!

I hope this concert makes your day like it made mine the first time I saw it:

Yeah lol I understand fully that it wasn't in their best interest to feed them like that. This was back in the late 80s early 90s, at least for me. No doubt selective breeding of who nabbed the most peanuts led to the current situation in RMNP. All I can promise you is that it won't continue with my offspring.

Take Big Thompson Canyon Road (Highway 34) into the city if possible
