Estes
Park,
Colorado
(a
QuaintVillage)
This village
near Rocky Mountain National Park is clean and not too touristy. You will find
a nice assortment of shops, galleries, cafes, everyday stores, Victorian decor, and
plenty of free parking. And, plenty of shade trees, gardens, and
playgrounds in the summer. Bring a sweater or jacket when visiting
Colorado in the summer. The
town is named for Joel Estes, a gold miner who discovered the Estes
Valley in 1859 and settled here with his family from 1860 to 1866. More

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
