My soul craves this kind of summer. Not overplanned. Not overcomplicated. Just good views, good people, a little mountain-town wandering, and that “we should do this every year” feeling.
Yes, it is snowing. Yes, it is also May 6. Both things can be true in Estes Park.
While the weather sorts itself out, May is bringing environmental films, classic cars, trail races, mountain town art, and plenty of reasons to get out and about.

Winter waited until May to come say hello, but honestly? We’ll take every snowflake we can get. Estes Park needed the moisture, and the mountains do look pretty good with snow on them!

5 reasons to look up tonight.
The night sky is more than a pretty view. It can shift our perspective, give us a reason to reset, reveal wildlife moving after dark, and remind us that darkness itself is worth protecting.
In Estes Park, the stars are part of the experience, but they’re only part of the story.
So tonight, trade the scroll for stars. Step outside, look up, and let the sky feel big for a minute.
Then help keep it that way: turn off lights you don’t need, choose warm and shielded lighting, and let the night stay night.

Mud season doesn’t get enough credit!
May-mid June in Estes Park is that quiet in-between moment… when the snow is melting, the trails get a little messy, and the crowds disappear. In my honest opinion, it might acutally be one of the best times to be here!
The town and trails are peaceful, the peaks are snowcapped, and the vibes are cozy... plus a little mud on your boots never hurt anyone! ;)

Some lessons start small.
A hand in the river. A bug on the trail. A reminder to pick up trash. A love for being outside.
This Earth Day, we’re thinking about the little voices learning what it means to care for the world around them.
Because someday, it will be their turn to care for it.
Thousands of rubber ducks. One river. Huge impact. The Great Estes Park Rotary Duck Race Festival returns May 2 supporting local charities.
