This entry is about the beauty of the Estes Park area. Alesia and I arrived on Thursday and stayed until Sunday afternoon. So the sad reason for the visit was buffered by the time we had to walk around and enjoy the scenery and geography so different from South Carolina’s Lowcountry.
I didn’t have to go far to get these stunning images. We stayed at the Estes Park Resort, which is situated on Lake Estes.
I just needed to step outside at around 6:30 a.m. to see the glorious dawn of a new day.
Estes Park is located near the entrance to the popular Rocky Mountain National Park. In August 2022, my brother-in-law Paul took us up there. Wow is it a national treasure! See my post here.
Fortunately, this winter trip offered moderate weather conditions with highs in the 50s.
This is a view of the Estes Park Resort from across Lake Estes, an 185-acre water reservoir. Elevation here is 7,522 feet.
Our room was on the first floor, left corner of the hotel building. It was the perfect room for quick access through the back door to the lake and the parking lot too.
The resort also offers cabins. You see some left of the hotel.
Here are some more looks at the resort- and of us too...
