Wintertime has arrived in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Snow is beginning to fall, and this time of year brings an entirely new experience for those who visit! A trip to the Rocky Mountains isn’t complete without participating in some winter fun in Estes Park. Whether you want to take a snowy hike through the Rocky Mountains or cross-country in our winter wonderland, so much awaits you!
A Snowshoe Hike
Strap on your snowshoes this holiday season and take on the snow surrounding the Rocky Mountains! The snow atop the mountains gives the park a magical glow and makes for a perfect wintertime hike. The snowshoeing trail around Bear Lake is relatively easy and allows your family to explore the winter scenery comfortably.
Fun in the Snow
While snowshoeing and snowmobiling always guarantee adventure in the snow, we enjoy some more simple fun! Estes Park is always blanketed with snow during the winter and makes a terrific playground for the entire family. Build a snowman and challenge your family to a snowball fight; so much awaits you!
A Night Under the Estes Park Stars
Once the sun goes down, you can still enjoy Estes Park’s winter wonderland by the firepit. Sip on some delicious hot cocoa while the orange embers glow, and you can gaze up at the dazzling stars over the Rocky Mountains. A sense of winter magic truly comes to life!
Rocky Mountain Ice Fishing
When the snow begins to fall and the weather grows chillier, every fisherman has a different type of fishing excursion at their fingertips! Ice fishing is perfect this time of year, especially at Rocky Mountain National Park. If you’re looking for easier access to a terrific ice fishing spot, we recommend Lake Haiyaha. Cutthroat trout are typically caught in this area, and you’ll be fishing with Hallett Peak above you!
Stay at Murphy’s Resort
Once you’re done enjoying all the winter fun in Estes Park,
rest up at Murphy’s Resort. Murphy’s Resort is the ideal choice for your stay regardless of what brings you to Estes Park. Located within walking distance to Lake Estes and Estes Park Golf Course, plus just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, our family-friendly hotel offers the best location for doing it all.
Enjoy top-notch amenities, awesome service, and comfy rooms. Rest and relax after a long day on the mountain by soaking in our outdoor hot tub or cozying up by the fire pit. Either way, your restful and cozy retreat awaits you at Murphy’s Resort.
