Home   »   Day 3 – Estes Park, CO Town Adventures

”The night turned out to get quite cold and we all woke up shivering our butts off. We slowly got up, the girls had some croissants, and Julie made eggs for her and me. After getting everyone fed and dressed we headed into town for some sightseeing, shopping, and lunch. Then we have a reservation for RMN Park from 1-3pm.

The automatic levelers on the RV aren’t working, a replacement part arrived with the owners today and they are going drive 2 hours to come up and install it. They will be at the site around 1pm to replace the part. 

We caught a shuttle from the local mart to the downtown area, walked around, did some shopping, Desi got a Colorado baseball hat, we had a smoothie at a coffee shop on the river, and walked around. We had a great lunch at a little cafe Claire’s restaurant and Bar. After the restaurant we went to try to get an uber to go to the park because no public shuttles are running due to COVID. Guess what NO CARS AVAILABLE!!! AHHH. It’s now 12:45pm and we come to the quick conclusion that the only way we are getting to the park is driving ourselves in the RV. Problem now is the owners are delayed in traffic until 2pm. They need the RV to put the part in. The part ended up not solving the problem and we ended up deciding to bag the trip to RMN park until tomorrow. We got reservations to cover getting in the park from 7am-11am to make sure we make it this time! So we’ll pack up the RV first thing in the morning and head up to the park.

The rest of today its relaxing, Desi going for a run, the girls playing cards, a wonderful steak dinner, a trip to walk to get some ice cream, and prepping for tomorrow.

On tap for tomorrow is the much anticipated Rocky Mountain National Park, a picnic lunch, and 6 hour drive to Wyoming on our way to Yellowstone.
