The Estes valley was first visited by the Arapahoe, Ute, and Apache, who used it primarily for hunting. The town itself was founded in 1859 by Joel Estes, a would-be farmer who discovered the growing season to be too short at this elevation. Other notable early settlers included Enos Mills, the father of Rocky Mountain National Park; the MacGregors, whose ranch is a working museum today; and F.O. Stanley, who built the Stanley Hotel and invented the Stanley Steamer automobile.

Today, Estes Park is home to about 6,000 permanent residents, but the town's population swells to 20,000 in the summer months. People come to hike RMNP, explore the unique mountain shops along Elkhorn Ave, and view the fall rut of hundreds of Rocky Mountain elk that congregate within the city limits in September.

Bring a pen.
