Planning A Trip To Estes Park This Year?

Thank you, Thom, for this very helpful information. We usually try to come up to Estes Park in September, but wondered whether it would be a good idea this year. Your post is encouraging.

We have come in both from the Peak to Peak Highway (Nederland--pronounced "neederlund" in Texas, but not in Colorado) or through the Big Thompson Canyon. Either way, we have always enjoyed a stay in Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park.
