YMCA of the Rockies
Like Rocky Mountain National Park, the YMCA of the Rockies has plans for a phased re-opening – just in time for summer.

Fishing in Estes Park
A great outdoor activity to enjoy this summer and still maintain social distancing is fishing. From the Big Thompson River to Fall River, Estes Park and the surrounding area offer some of the best fishing in the state. Get outdoors and discover our favorite places to fly fish in Estes Park.
Or fish from right outside your front door when you stay at Rocky Mountain Resorts. The cabins of Fawn Valley Inn sit on the banks of Fall River, offering a premium location for fishing, mountain views, and wildlife watching.
Sit back and relax at Rocky Mountain Resorts
One of our favorite things to do in Estes Park while social distancing is simply sitting back and relaxing with the sights and sounds of Mother Nature around you. And the best place to do just that is at our vacation rentals at Rocky Mountain Resorts.
While our seasonal, heated swimming pool will remain closed for the summer by government directive, most of our units offer personal hot tubs that are open year-round. Spend the evening relaxing in your private hot tub while reminiscing on the day’s adventures, all while enjoying beautiful mountain views.
