As one of the most popular National Parks in the country, it’s difficult to avoid crowds in Rocky Mountain National Park. Over 4.5 million tourists flock to the western national park for outdoor adventures every year, with many of these tourists entering via the town of Estes Park. Located close to the densely populated Front Range and Denver International Airport, it’s a picturesque home base for your Rocky Mountain adventures. However, there’s another entrance to the park stationed deeper in the Rockies – and if you’re looking for a scenic escape, it deserves a closer look.
