Easter is celebrated on March 31 in 2024, and if you have been housebound for too long after the end of year holidays of 2023, it may be time to plan an Easter getaway to Estes Park, as well as a stay in our comfortable and welcoming Voyago Vacation Rentals holiday hideaways. Offering a mountain flavor to your holiday activities, Estes Park is known for its beauty and serenity, two qualities that should accompany every Easter Celebration. This guide to the top ways to celebrate our favorite spring holiday will help you fill your itinerary with fun, wonder, and excitement.
Our Sunrises Will Wow
Whether you are getting up early to participate virtually in your own home church’s sunrise celebration or you are just too excited to sleep, a sunrise in Estes Park is destined to feed your soul with a beauty and peace that you never knew it needed. Bundle up warmly, as spring temps can still be quite chilly, and head out to your east-facing patio to witness the marvel of Mother Nature’s greatest performance, or if the patio of your cabin isn’t facing the right direction or you are just too cold to step outdoors, chances are the floor-to-ceiling windows in your cozy living room will frame the sunrise to perfection. Start a fire for extra warmth, snuggle under a blanket, and let the fire in the sky do its magic. Still feeling sleepy? Head back to the comforts of your warm and magical bed for a few more zzzz’s before officially starting your day!
Brunch of Champions
Well, maybe that phrase doesn’t have the same musical flow as the more well-known breakfast of champions, but we think brunch is much more civilized, don’t you? After your brief refresher sleep, a brunch at Bird & Jims, located at 915 Moraine Avenue, is destined to be a celebration in itself. Offering elevated brunch choices that include Apple-Chicken Sausage Benedict and Buffalo-n-Eggs (a dish made with buffalo jalapeño sausage), their Bacon Bloody is the ONLY way to wash down your brunch of champions, in our humble opinions. Or, should you not want to venture out on this cold and probably snowy March morn, our fully equipped kitchens are up to the challenge of preparing an Easter brunch at home!
The Annual Hunt
The first words out of your children’s mouth when you told them you were taking Easter on the road this year most definitely were, “But what about the Easter Bunny?” The list of official Easter egg hunts in Estes Park hasn’t been released yet, but in past years, many local churches have sponsored a few, as has the local YMCA, so we are pretty sure there will be more of the same. Additionally, whether there is an official egg hunt or not, our holiday hideaways offer plenty of hiding spots for the eggs you may have colored at their dining room tables the night before. The kitchens we mentioned earlier aren’t there just to hold your beer, wine, and snacks, the cabinets contain pots for boiling all the eggs you need.
What About the Baskets?
Of course, the Easter Bunny has to bring a basket, and if you didn’t pack your own candy and treats, there is no better place to find the sweets you treat than the Old Fashioned Candy and General Store, located at 184 E Elkhorn Avenue # E. To be perfectly honest, we would recommend this store even if you weren’t looking for candy to fill Easter baskets, especially as THIS is the store that holds the candies of your memories, as well as the candy your kids know and love!
Winter Sports for the Win
Estes Park is known for being a Colorado mountain town that doesn’t rely on a ski resort to be popular and exciting, but if you want to combine a ski trip with your comfortable stay in our rentals, Eldora Mountain Resort is located just 47 miles away in the town of Nederland, and ski season isn’t expected to close until the middle of April. If you want to stick close to home, however, there are plenty of winter sport activities you can participate in, including sledding on a former ski trail off Trail Ridge Road in the Rocky Mountain National Park, ice skating on Dorsey Pond at the YMCA of the Rockies, and snow shoeing just about anywhere you like!

If are an amateur photographer or someone who loves to post pics of their vacation to their social media you will want to know where you can find the most photographable places you visit. This includes Estes Park where you will find gorgeous scenery all around you. Pinpointing the most photographable spots can be a little difficult unless you know where to look. That is where we come in with this handy guide. Here are the most photographable spots located exclusively in Estes Park:
Rocky Mountain National Park
Perhaps the largest attraction near Estes Park is the Rocky Mountain National Park. This local park is a top draw to the area and is one of the most photographed parks in the country. No matter what time of year you visit Rocky Mountain National Park you are sure to find some truly inspirational scenery to photograph. With the park being so big you can easily drive around and simply take pics of what you enjoy seeing. Some more specific ideas in the park also include Bear Lake. This local attraction in the park is a favorite as the lake reflection offers a mirror reflection of the local mountains and trees on a calm day. Another favorite is Dream Lake which is a top draw in the summer or winter. The alpine surrounding helps offer beautiful scenery and the frozen water of winter lets you ice skate on top. The Alberta Falls are the cascading falls located in the park. You may be able to see packs of elk in the wild when you venture down into Moraine Park. Gem Lake is a more remote part of the park that takes a longer hike to get to. But once you reach it you will see a beautiful lake created by trapped snowmelt that offers a beautiful and distinct look.
Lake Estes
You will notice that Estes Park is surrounded by many beautiful lakes in the area. None is more prominent to Estes Park than Lake Estes itself. This center area of Estes Park offers many activities during the year including fishing, kayaking, boating, and much more. For those who wish to see the more photographable side of Lake Estes make sure to hike the near four-mile loop around the lake. This trail is known to many locals and visitors to check out the beautiful lake scenery. Herds of elk are also known to frequent the lake in the cooler seasons such as fall and winter. There is nothing more beautiful than nature in Estes Park.
Mary’s Lake
For those who prefer to avoid the busier crowds of Lake Estes you can always venture off to Mary’s Lake. This scenic lake is just as beautiful and is worth the extra travel to get to. Mary’s Lake is primarily used for boating and fishing during the summer season. The lake marina offers all of the boat and bike rentals you need so you can easily get around by land or water. Locals know that Mary’s Lake offers one of the top spots for sunsets as the reflection of the water offers a truly spectacular sight. Sunrises are also great if you can get to Mary’s Lake just before the sun rises overhead.
