Winter in Estes Park, CO
Winter Memories
Made in the Mountains
When the peaks go snow-capped, Estes Park shifts into full winter mode—quiet trails, crisp air, and downtown charm that pairs perfectly with a warm drink in hand. Make our flagship lodge your basecamp for winter adventures in Rocky Mountain National Park, seasonal events, and easygoing nights back at Casa Colina—plus toasty s’mores by the fire.
Seasonal Programming
From mountain photo sessions to traction-ready gear for winter trails—and nightly campfire s’mores—our experiences keep the good kind of busy going from first light to last ember.
Photo Session in RMNP
Turn your winter getaway into a keepsake with a guided photo session in Rocky Mountain National Park—snow-dusted peaks, soft winter light, and frame-worthy moments included.
Microspike Rentals
Icy trail? No problem. Grab microspikes before you head out—more grip, fewer slips, and way more time to take in the views (and stop for photos).
Nightly Campfire S'mores
End the day around a crackling fire with complimentary s’mores. Our s’morelier keeps the fixings stocked—so every marshmallow hits golden (or perfectly burnt) perfection.
