There is something undeniably special about the arrival of winter in Estes Park. The mountains begin to collect their first blankets of snow, the pace of town slows, and the Estes Valley takes on a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the busyness of everyday life.
It’s a season made for slowing down, enjoying good company, and discovering the quieter side of the Rocky Mountains.
At Taharaa Mountain Lodge and Twin Owls Steakhouse, winter brings together everything we love about mountain hospitality: cozy accommodations, exceptional dining, live music, and plenty of reasons to stay a little longer.
Discover the Magic of Estes Park in Winter
While summer is known for its outdoor adventures and fall brings spectacular golden aspens, winter offers an entirely different kind of beauty.
Snow-covered peaks, crisp mountain mornings, and quieter trails create an inviting setting for couples, families, and visitors looking to experience Colorado at a slower pace.
Spend an afternoon exploring downtown Estes Park, enjoy a scenic drive through Rocky Mountain National Park, or simply settle in and admire the mountain views.
And when the sun begins to set, return to the warmth and comfort of Taharaa Mountain Lodge.
