We hope you will enjoy our little insights and comments about the beautiful Estes Park, Colorado community. As with any community, there are beauties and there are zits. The beauty is easy to see, from the winding rivers coming off of the Rocky Mountains, to the peaks of Longs and Meeker in the adjacent Rocky Mountian National Park. Long's Peak caps at 14,256' from which one can see a hundred miles on a clear day. What a spectacle.
The community of Estes Park is made up of retiree's and business people. Most businesses are in the lodging, retail and restaurant business. Our schools are pretty evenly divided at about 400 students each in elementary, middle and high school. We have a large grocery store, a small grocery store, three hardware stores and many service and banking enterprises.
As a resort community many of the businesses are quite seasonal. Although open year around, our tourism traffic is pretty much for a five month period - June through mid October.
