Allenspark,
or more precisely the combined area of Raymond/Riverside,
Allenspark, Wild Basin, Meeker Park, Cabin Creek and
Longs Peak, is one of the most beautiful areas of Colorado
and arguably one of its best kept  secrets.
Located on the doorstep of the Rocky
Mountain National Park, it boasts stunning
scenery, abundant wildlife and a wide choice of activities
to suit everyone's personality and lifestyle.
Allenspark
has the advantage over the more well-known Estes Park
in that it is not yet fully "discovered". It has easy
access to Estes and its attractions, yet remains quieter
and non-commercialized. We are a friendly community
and love to have visitors. You can meet some of the
locals in our town cafes, enjoy a memorable meal at
our town's five star restaurant, The Fawnbrook Inn,
or simply enjoy quiet and solitude in beautiful surroundings.
Allenspark has two national park trail entrances. In
the summer it is a perfect place from which to hike
into the park or fly fish in some of our pristine mountain
streams and lakes. Horseback riding and mountain climbing
are also very popular activities. In the winter, snowshoeing
and cross-country skiing are a great way to see the
park and experience its spectacular beauty. Nearby is
the Wild Basin area of the Rocky Mountain National Park
which has excellent trails, leading to beautiful waterfalls
and lakes. Longs
Peak, the highest peak in the area, attracts
visitors all year round and is easily accessible. Several
other park entrances are located in Estes
Park, which is a short drive away. Also
located near Allenspark is the
Indian Peaks Wilderness area on 76,486
acres with 110 miles of trails and over 50 lakes. We
think you'll agree that this is an amazing and unforgettable
place to vacation!
