The history of this site is unique, very well done too. The walk around the cabin down below and the old house are well preserved. There is a bit of a walk, follow the trail and keep to it, there is wildlife all around, we saw a hawk hunting on our visit. The old house has a metal walkway and some areas to view the town below of Estes Park, nice informative signs with history. Take your time, go during the day, take water and there are no bathrooms either

Nice little trail that leads to the Ruins, along the trail you get a good view of the Stanley Hotel. One at the top you get a great view of Estes Park. Plenty of roadside parking nearby.

It’s a beautiful place with a short hike. The trail is a bit rocky and hard to find the way to go up but the view didn't disappoint me. You can see the Estes park downtown from the top. I got to see birdies and squirrels here. No ticket to go here.

Not a bad walk at all. Very interesting to see everything there is even some people out metal detecting. The ruins themselves were also interesting. Seeing how the rocks were put together so differently them today. But the views are absolutely amazing.
