Rock Climbing
Rock Climbing is one of the unique adventures Colorado has to offer visitors. The Colorado Rockies have long called to adventurers to scale their heights and explore their secrets. Estes Park and the surrounding Rocky Mountain National Park are home to some of the best climbing in the country.
​
While their is certainly plenty of opportunity in to challenge yourself on extreme and difficult terrain, rock climbing is actually an incredibly fun and accessible sport for beginners. Starting on small cliffs with plenty of hand and footholds while safely secured by a rope from above is a great way to get a taste of the adventure of climbing and give yourself a challenge!
​
