Rediscover the Estes Park Tramway: Iconic Views and Family Fun

Hi everyone! Jeff and Julie Abel here from Estes Park Living with Signature Home Team. Today, we’re thrilled to share an iconic local gem—the Estes Park Tramway. With its rich history dating back to 1955 and a stunning new facelift, the tramway is open again and ready to offer breathtaking views and fun activities for everyone. Let’s dive into what makes this attraction a must-visit!

A Local Favorite Since 1955

The Estes Park Tramway has been a cherished tradition for locals and visitors alike. After being closed for several years, it’s back with a fresh look while maintaining its timeless charm. From panoramic views of Longs Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Estes Park, to unique experiences like feeding chipmunks at the summit, this is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure.

Why Locals and Visitors Love It

What makes the tramway so special? It’s the sense of community and connection with nature. Whether it’s chatting with friendly staff, taking in the incredible vistas, or enjoying the nostalgic tradition of feeding chipmunks, the tramway offers something for everyone. And for those of us who live here, it’s a reminder that there’s always something new to discover in our beautiful hometown.

What to Expect at the Summit

Once you reach the top, you’ll find:

  • Unmatched Views: See iconic landmarks like the Stanley Hotel, Lake Estes, and the Park Theatre, along with sweeping views of the Rockies.
  • The Hungry Chipmunk Café: Grab a snack and soak in the scenery.
  • Family-Friendly Activities: Purchase a bag of peanuts and feed the chipmunks—a tradition loved by generations.
  • A 1.4-Mile Trail: Enjoy a scenic hike while breathing in fresh mountain air.

Tips for Your Visit

To make the most of your trip, be sure to book your reservations early. Morning slots often have shorter wait times, giving you more time to enjoy the views and activities. Remember, once you’re at the summit, you can stay as long as you’d like—just don’t miss the last tram ride down!
