Fly fishing is an incredibly graceful and mind-quieting skill, an art you could say. And Estes Park is the place to do it, with cool, clear mountain streams that teem with trout of all types. No surprise: Estes Park is home to Kirk’s Fly Shop, and the finest in guided fishing and hiking excursions.
Guided fly fishing through Rocky Mountain National Park and Big Thompson River is just the start - the terrain around Estes Park holds are some of the best places for it, anywhere. Period. You must take advantage of these knowledgeable mentors whether you are a fly-casting novice or a pro.
Guided backpacking is also offered through more than 200,000 acres of intensely gorgeous wilderness. Go back-country or appreciate the more well-maintained passages. If you don’t want to schlep all the gear around, you can hire a llama to do it for you. You might even take part in a little trail running, or extreme walking/hiking.
