Estes Park Under the Tree
All I want for Christmas is a trip to Estes Park!
Giving experiences rather than things is a growing trend when it comes to gift giving – especially when the gift creates the kinds of memories that last way longer than another sweater ever could. Here are our gift guides for the Whole Family, your Special Someone, and for the Outdoor Enthusiast. Be sure to check out the Specials section to score the best deal on your Estes Park vacation!
A Gift for the Whole Family
Holiday Inn
If you’re planning a trip with the family as a gift for under the tree, staying at the Holiday Inn of Estes Park is a no brainer! This place is more than kid-friendly, it’s kid heaven! With an indoor heated pool that is open year-round, an awesome game room, free snow shoes or ice skates to borrow, and kids eat free at the onsite restaurant –Latitude 105– what’s not to love?
Another amazing perk of the Holiday Inn is that the property is dog-friendly, so you don’t need to leave your 4 legged family member at home! And though you can’t bring your dog on any hikes in RMNP, there are plenty of trails outside the park where you can take a hike. Be sure to visit our page with tips on vacationing with your dog.
For great ideas on activities to do with the whole family while you’re in town, check out our Estes Park with Kids page.
