Getting around
Transportation is limited in Estes Park if you do not come in your own vehicle. There is a free shuttle service during the summer months, there is a cab service year round. Uber has not made it here yet. During peak season (summer and early fall) traffic is heavy. Sorry but yes we do have some road construction going on. Improvements are a good thing. Trail Ridge Road is the highest paved road in the country, but it is not open through to Grand Lake once the snow falls. Usually open between Memorial Weekend and Mid October.
