(Estes Park, Colorado - CO, USA)

However, a word of warning, dining is always a popular pastime on summer evenings in Estes Park.

Despite the town being relatively small, the huge influx of summer tourists means the restaurants in Estes Park fill up very quickly and without a dining reservation, you are likely to struggle to get a table without a least an hours' wait.

Where to Eat

When you do eventually sit down, you can expect that most restaurants will serve steaks, wild game, burgers, barbecues and various potato side dishes.

Many cafes in Estes Park make the very most of their setting, boasting balcony or terrace seating areas, where dining can enjoy some Colorado sunshine and wonderful mountain views.
