WE lived in Estes Park from 1995-2003. Went back twice by about 2008 and have not gone back since for a lot of reasons I won't go in to.
We do love CO, though, and once again this summer we will be spending time in the southwest part of the state with a few days over by CO Springs. We love that area and go back frequently.
Like so many other things, the changes in Estes - in our opinion - are not to our liking. Add to that are the crowds. But Rocky is beautiful in the Fall - that is when we went back.
My friend, 4runnerguy, makes very good points about Vail and Aspen. Been there done that and not on a list of any kind again.
