Sweets shops tempt with sweet aromas while the Big Thompson River flows peacefully alongside walkways dotted with bronze sculptures. Bond Park and Historic Park Theatre offer cultural breaks between shopping trips. The majestic Stanley Hotel watches over it all from its perch above town. Tourist-focused restaurants serve elk burgers and Rocky Mountain trout with hearty mountain flair. Souvenir shops and local art galleries fill the walkable core, with a free trolley service during peak seasons. Accommodation range from historic hotels to mountain lodges, all perfectly positioned for your Rocky Mountain National Park adventures.
