Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it which means now is the perfect time to plan a scenic and exciting getaway to beautiful Estes Park with the one you love most. Estes Park is packed with opportunities for fun in February and a wonderful place to relax and unwind in style if that’s more your preferred pace. Whether you’re a couple that connects over amazing food, or you’re looking forward to outdoor adventure, you’ll find options that are sure to satisfy and more. The following are some of the most romantic Estes Park Valentine’s Day events and activities to be sure to add to your itinerary this year.
Begin the Day with a Romantic Sunrise
If you happen to be a couple that tends to rise early together, you’ll want to be sure to make the sunrise itself the perfect start to your romantic Estes Park getaway. There’s nothing more inspiring than a sunrise over the mountains with a hot cup of coffee in hand. You can find your cup at Kind Coffee at E. Elkhorn Avenue which opens at 6:30 a.m. before heading to the Centennial Open Space located at Knoll-Willows. You’ll find easy access to this spot just across the street from the historic Stanley Hotel and once you arrive, you’ll have a picture-perfect vantage point over downtown Estes Park. With Rocky Mountain National Park working as your scenic backdrop, welcoming the sun is sure to be a highlight of your Valentine’s Day.
Explore the Great Outdoors Hand-in-Hand
For the couple that enjoys adventuring together when temperatures drop and the ground is covered in fresh powder, there’s no better place to find yourself this Valentine’s Day than Estes Park. It’s the very best holiday for strapping on a pair of snowshoes and hitting the trails that glitter in the winter scenery and offer up options for wildlife watching as well. Backcountry skiing is another great option for winter outdoor fun on Valentine’s Day in Estes Park with the team at the Colorado Mountain School more than happy to help you set up private guided tours. The trails that are tantalizing for mountain biking are still open for fat tire biking in the wintertime across Estes Park while it’s hard to top a wintery trek to Lily Lake for frozen views that promise to inspire.
Plan for Some Well-Deserved Pampering
Even the most adventurous of couples heading to Estes Park over Valentine’s Day will find some well-earned rest and rejuvenation worth their while. Plan to include a stop at a spa or two during your romantic stay to refresh and revitalize in good company. Places like the Qi Lounge Wellness Spa or Elements of Touch Wellness Spa have customized packages available depending on preferences. Whether you’re looking for a couple’s massage, facials, wraps, aromatherapy, or hot stone treatments too, these locales have what you’re looking for to make it a relaxing Valentine’s Day to remember.
Add a Romantic Meal to Your Itinerary
For many couples, it’s hard to imagine a romantic getaway anywhere without a delicious meal for two included on the lineup. The good news is, when you find yourself in Estes Park this holiday, you’ll have plenty of savory options to choose from! Destinations in town like the Snowy Peaks Winery are great for pairing mouthwatering bites with a delectable tasting session. Twin Owls Steakhouse is a must for a robust Valentine’s menu that’s made to please every palate. Just make sure to have your reservation in place in advance to ensure your spot on this important evening!
