Easter is just a few short weeks away and this is the year that you decided to make your vacation dreams come true, planning a trip to the mountains of Estes Park and of course you have already booked your accommodations with Voyago Vacation Rentals. And for some, the difficult part is what comes next, planning an itinerary that will help you keep your old traditions while encouraging new ones and we can assure you there is better place on earth to do both than right here in our hometown. This guide to planning an Estes Park Easter getaway you will never forget may be the first step in starting a new tradition, traveling to Estes Park every Easter.
Traveling Unencumbered
Celebrating the holiday with your family is the most important part of Easter, but we can almost hear your children’s reaction to the news that you were spending the holiday in Estes Park. Tears may have threatened, feet may have stomped and demands about how the Easter Bunny was going to find them would have left their sad little mouths. You, of course, would have reassured them that the hopping bunny knows all, and made a mental note to remember to pack the baskets in your luggage. But Voyago knows a few things too, and one of those things is the fact that baskets don’t travel well, and kids are little detectives, often finding out all the things we try to keep hidden. So, leave the basket at home and when you arrive in town, run over to Dollar General at 451 Stanley Avenue or Dollar Tree at 461 E Wonderview Avenue, and pick up a basket, the colorful grass, and maybe a few trinkets to put inside; spending less on the basket ensures that you won’t feel bad about leaving a brand new basket behind.
Easter Egg Hunt
Easter is a holiday that is celebrated all weekend long here in the mountains with the YMCA of the Rockies Dorsey Museum offering an Easter egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter. (Easter falls a little later this year, on April 20.) A craft center on the premises will also offer arts and crafts sessions that will build the anticipation for your kiddos and add color to your holiday. Also offering snacks and perhaps even a visit with the big bunny himself, the pre-holiday activities offered in Estes Park truly make this area a family friendly vacation destination spot.
As the Sun Rises
There is a quiet beauty found in the sun rising over the mountains that surround Estes Park, and we can’t think of a better way to start your celebration of Easter. Maybe you are used to rising this early, participating in your own sunrise services back home, or maybe this will be your first Easter sunrise, but either way, no other sunrise will hit like ours. The way the sky cycles through all the colors before settling on golden sunshine and blue. The cold air, so fresh and clean, filling your lungs as you snuggle deeper in your winter clothes, or the blanket you wrapped around your shoulders before stepping out on the balcony or patio of your Voyago Vacation Rentals holiday hideaway. The anticipation of what you are about to witness, the quiet hush of a world that hasn’t awakened, and the knowledge that you can climb back under the covers of your warm and cozy bed for a couple more hours of sleep makes your sunrise in Estes Park an adventure you will cherish forever.
Easter Brunch
You could create your own feast at home in the fully equipped kitchen of your vacation retreat, but an Easter brunch at Brunch & Co, located at 333B East Wonderview Avenue D is an Estes Park tradition that we can’t wait to experience every year. Offering a three-course prix fixe menu filled with holiday inspired brunch dishes, we tend to make piggies of ourselves each time we attend, but a good Easter hike later in the day always helps to counteract all the extra calories. Because you know we are eating every bite of all three courses and are sneaking treats from the Easter baskets throughout the day!
