🍂☀️ **A Few Fall Leaves, Plenty of Sunshine & Beautiful Days in Estes Park!**

Fall may be winding down, but Estes Park is still showing off! 🏔️💛

There are still a few colorful leaves hanging on, the sun is shining, and the weather has been absolutely beautiful. Here's a little glimpse of the peaceful waterwheel and park downtown — one of the many charming spots that makes Estes Park so special! 🌿💦

And here's even more good news: **Rocky Mountain National Park's timed entry reservations are officially over for the season!** 🙌 You can now explore the park without a timed entry reservation until the system returns next year.

With fewer crowds, quieter weekdays, beautiful mountain views, and plenty of local shops and restaurants still open, this is one of our favorite times to enjoy Estes Park.

🏡 **Come stay with us at Appenzell Inn!** Enjoy our cozy mountain accommodations, great off-season rates, and a relaxing getaway just minutes from downtown Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

✨ The leaves may be fading, but the beauty of Estes Park never does!

That's right! If you're heading to Estes Park, there are two iconic spots to stop and snap a photo to kick off your mountain getaway! 😍

📍 **Highway 36:** You'll find one of the famous Estes Park welcome signs as you make your way into town!

📍 **Highway 34:** The other is located just after you come out of the Big Thompson Canyon, near Backbone Adventures!

🦌🍁 There's nothing quite like fall in Estes Park!

Elk rut season is one of the most incredible times of year to explore Rocky Mountain National Park. From the beautiful changing leaves to the unforgettable sounds of elk bugling, there's so much to love about autumn in the Rockies! 🏔️

We captured this amazing elk encounter while hiking near Cub Lake, one of the many beautiful trails in the park. 🌲

Whether you're visiting for the wildlife, hiking, or simply enjoying the mountain scenery, it's a wonderful time to experience Estes Park!

We hope to welcome you to Appenzell Inn soon! ❤️

🦌 Remember to always give wildlife plenty of space and enjoy watching from a safe distance.

**Saturday Morning:** Head into Rocky Mountain National Park for a scenic drive or winter hike. 🥾❄️ Need gear? Our friends at Estes Park Mountain Shop offer snowshoe and microspike rentals at very reasonable rates!

**Saturday Afternoon:** Explore downtown Estes Park, grab lunch at a local restaurant, or enjoy a ride on the Mustang Mountain Coaster, which operates year-round, weather permitting! 🎢

**Saturday Evening:** Head back to Appenzell Inn for a swim in our year-round indoor pool, another soak in the hot tub, and a relaxing evening. Many of our rooms also feature kitchenettes, making it easy to prepare your own meals or enjoy a cozy night in. 🏊‍♀️

**Sunday Morning:** Enjoy a leisurely morning, take in the mountain views, and maybe squeeze in one more adventure before heading home!

There’s nothing quite like an Estes Park evening. 🔥🏔️

A glowing sunset, a warm fire, and a cozy spot to settle in after a day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park. Fall evenings at the Appenzell Inn are pretty hard to beat. ❤️

🍂 A quiet little corner of Estes Park.

One of our favorite things about Appenzell Inn is that there are so many places to simply slow down and enjoy being in the mountains. Wander through the property, relax by the fire pit under the string lights, take a swim in our indoor pool, or find a quiet spot outside and enjoy the fresh Colorado air. 🏔️

Fall is starting to settle into Estes Park, and we love watching the property change with the season. And when fall turns to winter, we’ll still be here — Appenzell Inn is open year-round! ❤️

Come make yourself at home in Estes Park.
