Estes Park is a quiet town in the spring months. Travelers, for the most part, seem to wait for summer to make their way to our mountain hometown, eager to experience all that the solstice brings, unaware that they are missing out visiting during one of the best months of the year, and, of course, we mean the month of April. Spring flowers flood the meadows, the mountains, the little culverts that may be running on either side of the roads that lead into town and our Voyago Vacation Rentals Spring sanctuaries reflect the beauty of those flowers, waiting for you and your family to grace our doorsteps and relax after long days of hanging out in Estes Park Colorado in April and attending these wonderful April events.

First Friday Art Groove, April 4, Downtown Estes Park

The most beautiful towns attract the most talented artists and if you don’t believe us now your beliefs will change after participating in our First Friday Art Groove. This fun event is a repeating one, taking place on the first Friday of every month (Oh, so that’s how it got its name!), the various galleries and shops that make up the downtown area of Estes Park stay open a little later, inviting visitors to take a self-guided tour of their wares. And because it isn’t just art galleries and shops you can explore during this event, you will also enjoy drink specials, snacks, and live music at the breweries and wineries (we call them Drop Stops) that can be found on the Art Groove route. The tour map can be found at this link. If you can’t make it on First Friday, you can still check out all the galleries, shops, and Drop Stops, by following the map at any time during the day.

Check out a film festival in Estes Park

Environmental Film Festival, April 11 & 12, Historic Park Theater, 130 Moraine Avenue

We know how lucky we are to live in an area with such a stunning landscape. The Rocky Mountains standing guard over fields of flowers, rising high and often reflecting in the clear and quiet waters of the lakes that can be found at their base. The trees just beginning to bud in April and the flowers pushing their way out of dark and fertile soil; we could spend hours talking about how beautiful the scenery is in Estes Park, or you could just go out and explore it yourself, after attending the Environmental Film Festival that takes place every year in our historic Park Theater. Offering 2 days of films that celebrate the environment, food, drink, and live music (when you aren’t watching movies) this festival will make you appreciate how much kinder we need to be to Mother Nature.

Bigfoot Barbecue, April 25

April 25 & 26th are about to become your favorite days of the month if you happen to be in Estes Park at the time. Bigfoot Days are coming to our mountain town and the event always starts off with a Bigfoot themed barbecue, live music, delicious drinks, and the chance to mingle with some very special local celebrities. They haven’t announced the location of this fantastic dinner as of yet, but there will be information as we get closer to the big day.

A marathon runner

Bigfoot Half Marathon, April 26th

The Bigfoot Half Marathon and 5K is always a good time for those who love to run, and during the beautiful weather we expect at the end of April, you won’t want to be anywhere else but outside playing. Taking runners through some of the most beautiful parts of town, you can run as fast as you want or as slow as you need, because this isn’t really a competition it is just the means to get to the end, where the real fun begins, starting with a free Lumpy Brewing Company beer that will almost be waiting for you at the finish line!

Bigfoot Days Festival, April 26

Estes Park is known for its Bigfoot sightings, especially during Bigfoot Days in April. Offering music, food, fun, and a veritable crowd of Bigfoot guests, including some TV celebrities, you may think our town is kind of weird, but that’s ok. We are a bit strange and we embrace that uniqueness with fun events such as the Bigfoot Days Festival. Bring your kids, your dog (leashed please) and your sense of whimsy and spend the day discovering everything you have needed in your life and as the kids play on inflatables and the adults browse tables of art and crafts, you may become a believer in Bigfoot as well.

It may seem a little strange to be thinking about Spring Break when you can still hear the echoes of the big three holidays, but welcome to adulthood; time zooms by, and if you aren’t paying attention, it will be too late to do anything to celebrate! Now, under most circumstances, Spring Break is supposed to be about saying goodbye to winter and wishing our way towards summer, but here in Estes Park we celebrate the frosty season, feeling thankful that it lasts a little longer in Colorado than it does in most parts of the world. If you are of like mind and find yourself dreaming of a Spring Break getaway where the snow still falls and the fireplace in your Voyago Vacation Rentals wintry escape brings warmth, this guide to how to spend an Estes Park spring break will give you the opportunity to explore winter a little bit longer.

Pick Up a New Sport

March is our snowiest month (yay!), and when the snow is falling and the landscape is covered in fresh powder, we love to go for a walk or hike. We put on our warmest clothes, our snow goggles that are tinted because the sun will reflect brightly off all that white, and slip into our most stylish winter shoes—snowshoes, that is. Snowshoeing has been a popular way to walk on snow for thousands of years, but unless you live in a snowy spot, chances are you have never tried it before. Estes Park Mountain Shop, 2050 Big Thompson Avenue, is where we suggest you head for rental snowshoes, and if you are unsure about trying the sport out all by yourself, they also offer guided tours that will start with a little tutorial. Glide into a serene walk through the wilderness where the chance you will see some wildlife, including elk, moose, and fox, will be very strong, ending with a sense of awe over all you have just seen and a sense of accomplishment will make this Spring Break adventure one you will never forget.

Enjoy snowshoeing in Estes Park

Frozen Dead Guy Days, March 14-16

 Frozen Dead Guy Days is a weird and wonderful festival that takes place on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, celebrating Grandpa Bredo, who is currently over 120 years old. The story of how he died, why he was frozen and living in a Tuff Shed in nearby Nederland, and why he moved to the Stanley’s old ice house is a fascinating one that will be told during your festival adventures. Offering coffin races, cold beers, hot bands, and a Frozen Dead Bar Crawl, this fun-derful event was tailor made for a Spring Break journey in Estes Park.

Fly Fishing, Big Thompson Canyon 

Some of the best fishing can be done in March and April, making a spring fly fishing trip a very popular activity. The water is low and clear, the trout begin to surface, hungry after being under the ice for most of the winter, and eager to grab your line, making it almost impossible not to catch your limit. It is still cold in the spring months, so be sure and dress warm for this adventure. Kirk’s Fly Shop offers guided trips if you are looking for someone a little more experienced in the area to help out a little.

A Tour of Breweries

Beer and Spring Break go together like peanut butter and jelly and the breweries in Estes Park are destined to make Spring Break your favorite vacation of all. Avant Garde Aleworks (920 Dunraven Street), Estes Park Brewery (470 Prospect Village Drive), and Lumpy Ridge Brewing Co. (531 S St. Vrain Avenue) are a few of our favorites, but what if wine is more your beverage of choice? Don’t worry, we’ve got you with Snowy Peaks Winery, located at 292 Moraine Avenue. Oh, and don’t forget Elkins Distilling Co (137 E Elkhorn Avenue) and Full Throttle Distillery and Grill (231 Moraine Avenue) for those in a more spirited state of mind!

Estes Park, Colorado is one of THE best spots to go to if you aren’t an outdoor and nature lover.

Estes Park is a fun and exciting place that is right on the edge of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Known as one of the most famous and widely visited parks in the entire country, this area of natural beauty features hiking trails, hills, mountains, and forests that are going to take your breath away.
