There are really five roads into Estes, two from east (although they merge to one), one from southwest, one from south and one over the pass from the west.

If you want a fantastic drive up to Estes to take in the Scenery and such, google the Peak to Peak HWY / road. It's an awesome drive that takes around 2 hours.

How far (Hour wise) is Estes Park from Say Denver? (Highlands Ranch) If I can work it out I may drive down and will be staying with friends in Highlands Ranch and Co Springs following the even. Then the family will fly in the next week-end for a family reunion of sorts on the wife's side. So you see, it will take some careful planning on my part to work it all out... Doh!

I'd say 2 hours or a little less from Highlands Ranch. We were checking for reservations last night... The Stanley looks sweet but dosent look like we got an event discount.

Mapquest said 81 miles and 1 hour 52 minutes. You would be better off planning to stop in Estes Park first instead of backtracking from Highlands Ranch.

The stanley is sweet, But no, there is no group discount nor do they have accomodations for the cars :-(...
