But only one town takes the cake as the most romantic weekend getaway in Colorado:

Welcome to the one and only Estes Park, which - according to Thrillist - is the Most Romantic Weekend Getaway in Colorado! But they aren't the only ones: this town is one of the top scenic destinations in the entire state. Read on to learn why an Estes Park getaway belongs on your bucket list.

Estes Park offers an extensive variety of activities for adventurous couples to experience together. Whether you enjoy whitewater rafting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, camping, zip-lining, tackling ropes courses, photography, or a combination of these activities, if you’re ambitious enough, you can probably fit them all into one adventure-packed weekend!

In addition to its many outdoor activities, the relaxing side of Estes is just as enticing with its vast array of beautiful resorts, luxurious spas, unique stores to shop for trinkets and souvenirs, and tons of dining options to choose from. There are so many exciting things to do in Estes Park!

First settled in 1859, Estes Park is a town of nearly 6,000 that has become a popular summertime destination yet has plenty of fun and adventure to offer all year round. If you get lucky, you’ll see the herds of elk herds that often roam in town! They’re known to meander through the town on their way to and from the neighboring Rocky Mountain National Park.

If you’re looking for a truly one-of-a-kind lodging experience, we recommend staying the night at the historic Stanley Hotel. Famous as the inspiration for Stephen King’s “The Shining” book and movie, it is simply one of the best places to stay in Estes Park. Even if you only visit, we recommend eating at its highly acclaimed Cascades Restaurant after a tour of the hotel’s lovely grounds.

The scenery both within Estes Park and the nearby Rocky Mountain National Park is undeniably some of the best you'll come across in Colorado. And the best part is that no matter your hiking abilities, you can immerse yourself in beautiful scenes like this any time of year and with relative ease.
