What is the best time to visit Estes Park?

The best time to visit Estes Park is from June to September, during the summer season, when temperatures range from 50°F to 77°F. This period offers ideal conditions for outdoor activities such as hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring Rocky Mountain National Park. However, summer is also the busiest tourist season, resulting in crowded trails and higher accommodation prices. The shoulder seasons of late spring and early fall can be a good time to visit for those looking to avoid crowds and take advantage of milder weather for outdoor adventures. The winter months from December to February can be cold and snowy but are ideal for snow activities like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing.
