We used to go there a lot back in the '50s and '60s, it was so peaceful and uncrowded, Estes Park was such a small town...Great memories of by gone days.
We should have tried to go to RMNP last year when we were in Colorado. Sigh. Thanks for the explanation. I'm sure it will help those wanting to go there now.
Oh you should have gone. And you should have told me when you were here. We could have met up. The park is beautiful. We only live a half hour away. So we spend a lot of time there. We actually have many picnic dinners in the park
@@ColoradoMartini We did let you know when we were in Colorado. We did try to meet up with you. We ended up heading south towards the Valley of the Gods area. Maybe next time we'll get to meet up...
I haven't been to the Rocky Mountains since I was a kid, I barely remember it. I would love to visit again someday! Those mountains are beautiful, what a lovely park. Great tips on the reservations, super informative! I would've had no idea how this worked! Great video!! :)
@@ColoradoMartini oh sweetie I guess I'm one of those people with all the passes I get the senior pass for sure and I definitely like the one where the bear would be. I guess all the money they're making from the passes goes to maintain the park and pay the employees
Such a beautifully Amazing video 📸❤️ Beautiful places.. I absolutely love it Really enjoyed watching every of your videos Giving another a big Big like thumbs up 👍👍👍 See you again on next video 📸 Luiz here again 🤗🎸 Keep intouch 👍❤️
Us locals aren't real pleased with them. Because we're most likely just to jump in our car and go. And now we can't. And it's frustrating. So a lot of us go off season. But the crowds were getting really bad and they did need to do something
Thank you for this! Very informative. We are going to try and make it this year. We already reserved a room at the Stanley and the haunted night tour. I was waiting for the monthly update for when we go in August. I’m not changing much of our plans from last year. I am worried about the Las Vegas New Mexico fires…..watching that closely. We did add Chaco Canyon and Aztec Ruins.
We just returned from RMNP with timed entry of 6-8 a.m. for mid-July. It was so nice to get an early start and have pictures without people in most of them. This is the best way to experience the national parks. Be sure to get your separate Bear Lake timed entry too if you would like to drive to that area. Parking was available for Bear Lake for the 6-8 am time slot but parking lots in the Bear Lake corridor were full later in the morning. The lines to access the park at later times would have been at least an hour, even more if you are going to Bear Lake which has another stopping point to check access.
Used to love going to RMNP and Estes Park. Camped at the KOA and rode horses at Sombrero Stables Ate breakfast at the Big Horn Restaurant most days and dinner was wherever we felt like eating. I actually got a ride one day in Les Foiles` Cobra replicar. Went into the park anytime we wanted to. Took Old Fall River Road up to the visitor`s center and then Trail Ridge Rd back to EP. Hiked to Emerald Lake, Lawn Lake and Mills Lake too. Had a friend who lived in Allenspark and stopped at Charlie Eagle Plume Store. Was there for the flood of 1976, Lawn Lake washout and the torrential rains of 2013. Now we are looking to stay in the Rapid City area in September and do several day trips to avoid the crush. Gad we got to go there before it became so crowded.
Great information. Too bad the park systems are needed to go to the reservation systems due to crowding. Great info for planning a trip. Have a great day.
Yeah a lot of locals are pretty pissed about it. He gives me usages jumping our cars and go whenever. It was our Disneyland. And now we have to plan it out over the summer months.
Ihave a timed entry and park pass so does that mean once we came into the park we can stay as long as we want or do we have to leave when the timed entry pass expires? Sorry if this seems obvious but just making sure I understand and don't need to buy more timed passes.
Yes you can stay in the park. And it also depends on what pass you have. The bear lake corridor plus pass, you have the run of the whole park. The other pass you will only be able to stay in all areas except for Bear lake corridor
You should not need a reservation November. But I would keep an eye on their reservation system just in case they change it. Reservations and as of October 10th
The full-park passes are only available for afternoon entry times on the date I want to go. Can I get two passes, a limited park pass for the morning, and the full-park pass to do Bear Lake Road stuff in the afternoon? How would that work? Would I show the limited-park pass on entry to RMNP, and then show the full-park pass when entering Bear Lake Road in the afternoon? Or would I have to leave the park and re-enter in the afternoon to show my full-park pass?
Yes you can use your pass for the rest of the park and see those areas. And then when it's time to go into Bear lake you can use that pass. Log in at 5:00 pm mdt the day before. And they'll be some morning passes available. The only thing that you can buy in advance is an afternoon pass
A Bear lake pass will get you access to the entire park. Where the other pass will get you access to everything but Bear lake. If you log in at 5:00 the night before they have more time slots available

@@ColoradoMartini oh sweetie I guess I'm one of those people with all the passes I get the senior pass for sure and I definitely like the one where the bear would be. I guess all the money they're making from the passes goes to maintain the park and pay the employees

It is a beautiful place to visit. We are lucky enough to live only 30 minutes away
I wondered how these time entry passes worked. We haven't needed one yet since we normally travel in the off season, great info thanks!
Us locals aren't real pleased with them. Because we're most likely just to jump in our car and go. And now we can't. And it's frustrating. So a lot of us go off season. But the crowds were getting really bad and they did need to do something
Nice road trip through the beautiful scenery 👍
It's such a beautiful park. Thank you for watching
I like this idea for some parks. I'm sure it definitely helps keep the place a little less congested and more organized. Great, informative video :)

Thank you Summer
Thank you for this! Very informative. We are going to try and make it this year. We already reserved a room at the Stanley and the haunted night tour. I was waiting for the monthly update for when we go in August. I’m not changing much of our plans from last year. I am worried about the Las Vegas New Mexico fires…..watching that closely. We did add Chaco Canyon and Aztec Ruins.
If the fires in Las Vegas New Mexico are stopping you. Try going more north and come down through Taos. Although they're having issues with fires too.
We just returned from RMNP with timed entry of 6-8 a.m. for mid-July. It was so nice to get an early start and have pictures without people in most of them.

Early is always best. Plus you'll get more animal pictures that way too. Glad you enjoyed your visit to the park.
Thanks for sharing thus informative video. Sights were cool 😎 too. ✌️💛
It's such a beautiful place. You should visit it sometime
@@ColoradoMartini yes, I should 😊
😲, bravo, another great video
Thank you so much
Thanks y'all, beautiful Share.
Hope to someday, blessins n thanks. 🌄🏞️💛
It's such a beautiful park. Thank you for watching
Good information. Beautiful park. The annual pass is worth it if you frequent national parks like a shopping mall 😊
Totally agree. We've had one for years.

It has so crowded. I live 30 mins away. We use to just jump in the car and have a picnic at Sheep Lake. Not anymore.
This is beautiful
Thank you so much
this one was a good one!! I capturing bright colors
It's like the Swiss Alps in the United States
Great information. Too bad the park systems are needed to go to the reservation systems due to crowding. Great info for planning a trip. Have a great day.
It is a beautiful place. Thank you for watching
Good info. This stuff can be kind of confusing for those who think you can just show up.
Yeah a lot of locals are pretty pissed about it. He gives me usages jumping our cars and go whenever. It was our Disneyland. And now we have to plan it out over the summer months.
Great explanation. Is it similar for other U.S. parks too? I enjoyed the mix of scenes. 😊
It's such a beautiful park. Thank you for watching
This is great information
Thank you
Hi friends good videos friends i like videos friends 👍👍👍
Thank you so much
If we get there early like 8AM, will there be any problem with long queue and get a pass, or we should definitely do timed entry?
All depends on what day. Just remember you can't get into Bear Lake without a time entry at that time
Do military veterans, with the lifetime free national parks pass, still need a timed entry ticket if entering the park during peak hours?
Everyone has to do reservations during the height of the season. I have a senior pass and I still have to make reservations.
Ihave a timed entry and park pass so does that mean once we came into the park we can stay as long as we want or do we have to leave when the timed entry pass expires? Sorry if this seems obvious but just making sure I understand and don't need to buy more timed passes.
Yes you can stay in the park. And it also depends on what pass you have. The bear lake corridor plus pass, you have the run of the whole park. The other pass you will only be able to stay in all areas except for Bear lake corridor
so i can enter park before 9am without timed entry reservation if im skipping out on bear lake ?
yes. But always refer to the RMNP webpage for update information
So do you have have the timed entry no matter what or can you just go up to the park and pay right there?
You have to have the reservation timed entry between the hours indicated. Outside of those hours and go up and just pay
So if you get there before 5am you don’t need a timed entry? Just a park pass correct??
yes for Bear Lake rd.
Great video. Very informative! I have a question. Do I need a reservation and a time entry if I go in November? Thank you!
You should not need a reservation November. But I would keep an eye on their reservation system just in case they change it. Reservations and as of October 10th
@@ColoradoMartini Thank you very much 😊 🙏
The full-park passes are only available for afternoon entry times on the date I want to go. Can I get two passes, a limited park pass for the morning, and the full-park pass to do Bear Lake Road stuff in the afternoon?

Sound like the best things is to get a campsite and you are all set
I get your reservations early. They book up
COMING IN SEPT , WOULDNT YOU JUST GET BEAR LAKE ONE AND GET ACRESS TO ALL ? OR DO YOU HAVE TO GO THRU THE BEAR LAKE ENTRANCE ?
A Bear lake pass will get you access to the entire park. Where the other pass will get you access to everything but Bear lake. If you log in at 5:00 the night before they have more time slots available
@@ColoradoMartini If you want to go to bear lake trailhead without a pass you would just have to due so before 5:00 a.m correct?
What a ridiculously complicated process… It’s like you gotta hire a lawyer to get you into the park
Thank you for your feedback
