Since we relocated to Denver, we've heard some people recommend the YMCA Estes Park Center for family weekends so we chose Easter weekend to try it out. The facility is located on an immense amount of land with beautiful views of the Rockies and forestry. It has the feel of a mountain "ranch" -- secluded and self-contained but rustic and... More

Seven members of my family stayed at one of 3 bedroom cabins. It was spacious and well-equipped for preparing and sharing meals together. Service was great. Beautiful views, good hiking, and lots to do on the grounds if you have the time. Good place to take kids as well as adults. Would liked to have more time to take advantage... More
