Weather  in Estes Park Colorado and Rocky Mountain National Park

The weather in Estes Park is relatively mild due to its location east of the Continental Divide. The area has often been referred to as the “Sun Belt of the Rockies”. Seasonal sports such as snow shoeing and cross-country skiing are popular here due largely to the usually sunny winter weather. Spring brings an explosion of wildflowers making May thru August a dazzling display of color. When visitors come in the summer they are treated to 70-80 degree days, cooler nights, very low humidity and plenty of sunshine and blue skies.
