Top 5 Father’s Day ideas for Estes Park:

Dad wants adventure! Trust us, dad doesn’t want another tie. He wants quality time with you, and to do something fun together in Estes Park, Colorado! Here are our top 5 Father’s Day ideas to do with dad in Estes Park:

1. Rent an ATV

   Explore the backwoods near Estes Park off-road! Backbone Adventures will deliver the ATV right to the trail, so all you have to do is show up! Spend the day seeing incredible views and wildlife while you explore trails and cross water in an exhilarating all terrain vehicle.

2. Go fishing

   Estes Park is the confluence point of Big Thompson River and Fall River, as well as having two lakes and a marina to serve as fishing holes. Add in all the great fishing in and around RMNP, and you can see why our town is a fisherman’s paradise. Guides, tips, required fishing licenses, and gear are available at Kirks’ Fly Shop and Estes Angler.

3. Take an E-bike ride

   Ride around town with a guided tour, or into RMNP if you’re more adventurous! E-bikes are allowed in RMNP anywhere you can drive your car, but not on trails. You can rent e-bikes at several places in Estes Park: Backbone Adventures and Ride Colorado are great options.

4. Take a hike

   With over 350 miles of trails in the park, there’s sure to be a new place to hike with dad! We recommend Erik Stensland’s book Hiking Rocky Mountain National Park: The Essential Guide

5. See the Rockies by Horseback

   You can choose anything from an hour to a full-day trail ride through RMNP. Imagine taking in the incredible sights of our iconic park by horse. If dad is a history buff, this would be a nostalgic way to experience the mountains of yesteryear, just like the early Estes pioneers. National Park Gateway Stables can make dad’s western dreams come true!
