Mountain weather can be unpredictable—but packing doesn’t have to be. June in Estes Park means sunny days, surprise rain showers, and crisp evenings perfect for fire pits and wine. Here’s your locally approved packing list for a comfortable and stylish stay:
1. Light Layers for Changing Weather
Start your day in a fleece and shed layers by noon. We recommend packing a down vest, waterproof windbreaker, and breathable long sleeves.
2. Hiking Gear for Scenic Trails
You’ll want sturdy, broken-in hiking shoes for exploring places like Dream Lake, Cub Lake, or Gem Lake. Don’t forget wool socks and a refillable water bottle—hydration is key at elevation.
3. An Outfit for the Estes Park Wool Market (June 8–9)
Whether you’re there to admire the alpacas or shop local handmade goods, bring something comfortable and fun to wear for browsing the booths and enjoying the festive energy.
4. Date Night Attire for Dinner at Twin Owls Steakhouse
We keep it relaxed but elevated. A sundress or a casual button-down works great—just be sure to bring a jacket for those cool evenings. Bonus: our view of the mountains is unforgettable at dusk.
5. Essentials for Exploring Town Events
Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, and a small daypack. You’ll be prepared for everything from the Farmer’s Market on Thursdays to free concerts in Performance Park.
6. Something Special for a Summer Wedding or Celebration
Hosting or attending an event at Taharaa? Pack a wrinkle-free formal look and let the mountain backdrop do the rest.
Wherever June takes you, we’re here to help you feel at home.
Whether it’s hiking at sunrise, sipping wine at sunset, or celebrating love on the mountaintop—Taharaa and Twin Owls are your home base for a perfect summer stay.
