Downtown Estes Park sits in the Estes Valley in northern Colorado, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The town is widely known as the main gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, and the park's Beaver Meadows entrance is a short drive from the center of town. Elkhorn Avenue is the main commercial street, lined with shops and eateries and busy with visitors, especially in summer. The Big Thompson River runs through the area, and the Riverwalk follows it through the heart of downtown. The historic Stanley Hotel, about a mile uphill from the center of town, is one of Estes Park's best-known landmarks.
