How is the drive up to Estes Park?|125249

My friends an I are planning on visiting Colorado soon and are hoping to stop by Estes Park. The friend who is driving is very nervous about driving in the moutains, near cliffs without railing, loose rocks etc. I was wondering if the drive to Estes Park have these conditions, and if so, are these conditions for the majority of the drive up there? Thank you!

Not at all. It is an easy, pleasant drive. Estes park is smack dab next to Rocky Mountain National Park...you should really enter the park and go to the visitors center. There is plenty to do in the park that does not involve driving on mountainous roads...tho the trip up to the top of Trail Ridge Road is absolutely gorgeous...and from the continental divide on top, you feel you can see the whole world.

Hey there I traveled to estes park with the parents back in May of 08..I was 18 at the time and drived the way to estes park..no worries with the drive as long as you use good judgement :)
