Estes Park’s free seasonal transit service, The Peak, will adjust its schedule this fall as part of a new pilot program to improve weekday service. The Peak’s current 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily summer schedule will wrap up on Monday, Sept. 1. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 2, weekday service (Monday through Friday) will operate from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on the Brown, Blue, Silver, and Gold routes. This eight-hour weekday pilot program is funded in part by the 2024 CMAQ grant award.
Weekend service (Saturday and Sunday) will continue at the regular 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. schedule through Sunday, Sept. 28. The Red Route (downtown/Elkhorn Avenue) will maintain its daily 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. schedule through Sunday, Oct 19.
This pilot program is based on recommendations in the Estes Park Multimodal Transportation Plan and the Estes Park Transit Development Plan (page 45 of the TDP). Ridership will be monitored at each stop to help inform potential route and schedule adjustments for the 2026 season. Live route tracking is available to riders at www.estes.org/transit or by scanning the QR code posted at every stop…
