I think we all know that Rocky Mountain National Park is right above estes park and this is also one of the most spectacular places in the world. Estes park is extremely touristy and tons of fun. Make sure to check out the highland games in september. Estes park has its own brewery and a good amount of mexican resteraunts all of which are very good. The food in this town is great, and this is a fun place to take older people and children. Camping is also fun and easy here. There are tons of places to go.

There is an extremely awsome spot that I went to a couple of years ago and will go back to this summer. This is Eagle Mountian. When you are coming out of estes park going to the RMNP there is the park to the left and then there is the YMCA of the Rockies to the left. Go to the YMCA so that you dont have to pay and also cause there is parking.

Now you can find this with or without a map. Here we are at a huge basin or a large circular formation of mountains with an opening coming from estes park. at the top is long's peak. in the middle of this circle is eagle mountain. this is about an hour hike to the top of this mountain and it is a decent hike not too steep but not too not steep.

The beautiful thing about this mountain besides the location is that at the top of this mountain between the two peaks is a HUGE MEADOW on top of this mountain. HUGE and amazing. There are many places to camp up here, there are about 10 or 12 hikers a day maybe more is a group comes from the YMCA, but this mountain is pretty big so you probably wont see but 1 or 2 if any, and there are many paths. The meadow on top is big enough to play football on so definately big enough for frisbee and this is also great for dogs. Maybe hard for kids under 12.
