Estes Park, CO
Estes Park is a peaceful mountainside village known as being home to the historic Stanley Hotel. This famed hotel is reportedly a haunted property, which Stephen King used to inspire his novel “The Shining.” In October, you’ll find plenty of Halloween-themed events that cater to visitors of all ages.
Attend the “Shining Ball” to watch theater characters, a costume contest, and some late-night dancing, as well as a murder mystery dinner. And Halloween night brings everyone out to visit Main Street for some trick-or-treating fun.
Visit the family-friendly Autumn Gold festival for live bands, bratwursts, and beer, or head with the kids to Pumpkins & Pilsner fest to get face painting, bouncy houses, and pony rides along with local seasonal craft beers.
