Getting around
There is little to no public transpiration in Estes Park
It is best to rent a car at the airport. There has been little Uber or Lift available to get you around down. During Peak summer months there is a shuttle that can get you down town.
Ways to save
If possible do your grocery shopping in Longmont or Loveland
The grocery store in Estes is expensive and crowded. Try to do your shopping before heading into the mountains. There is a Super Walmart in both Longmont and Loveland along with many grocery stores.
