North Face, Patagonia, Tilley, Columbia etc. No cheap iron on T-shirts or junk souvenirs here. Knowledgeable and great customer service. I could have spent a lot more time here but my wife dragged me out! And the prices are reasonable for a high end store in a small outlying community. You should definitely make this one of your stops while In town, I will definitely be back on my next visit to Estes Park!

My wife and I went to Outdoor World today, looking for hiking poles. After our first hike in RMNP…read moreyesterday, we decided we needed them. We were assisted by a young man named Evan, who was extremely helpful. He answered our questions, gave us great information that novices like us wouldn't have even thought of, and helped us adjust the poles to our height. In an age where customer service is often lacking, we found a true professional. If I was starting a business tomorrow, I would try to hire Evan.

I thoroughly enjoyed the lyrics posted around the shop from The Avett Brothers. Grateful for a shop that isn't the mass produced tourist t-shirts and trinkets. Or another ice cream shop. There was another Yelper with a 1 star review bitchin' about the cost of products here. Sure you can get a cheaper Ozark Trail jacket or whatever at Walmart, but that's not the level of gear they carry here. Only had a brief interaction with a staff member, and it was quite pleasant. I'll be back.

And to end, Don't come here unless you're 62 with no husband... or unless you're going on a "hike" around the lake.

They have rod/ reel rentals if you don't have one and a lot of great fly fishing gear and flies as well. I believe they can get you connected with a guide as well.

Was referred here from the Rocky Mountain Visitor Center to get spikes for our hike. We go in, an…read moreolder gentlemen maybe in his 50s with glasses told us we had to rent for more than one day because he said we wouldn't make it back in time to return them. But mentioned that we could get a refund for the additional day if we happened to make it back before he closed at 4pm. As we're walking out, he suggest that we don't steal them... we return them the same day and he explained that the money for the additional day he made us purchase would be refunded onto our card. We get in the vehicle we realize he gave my fiancé another persons rental ticket by the name Jorge Rodriguez. My fiancé is Hispanic... They suggested we would steal the spikes then gave my fiancé another Hispanic persons ticket. The people here are racist & liars. We called the following day to see if the money would reload to which we were told that they don't do refunds all of the sudden. Overall you'd be better off buying some on Amazon before your trip if you are a POC.

I loved browsing the store! I'm always drawn to the magnets selection. They sell "Oxygen To Go!" canisters in case you need some at this higher altitude or if you ascend to greater heights in Rocky Mountain National Park! Says it's good for recovery - even for hangovers! There is an entire section near the restrooms that is full of black bear figurines and other decorations. So cute! If you're hungry, there is a restaurant here as well. We didn't eat there, so I don't know the quality or what's offered. We ended up exiting the Rocky Mountain National Park at the Fall River Station when we saw this and decided to stop in at the end of the day. We initially went to the Visitor Center before walking over here. After scouring most of the items here, I did take home a few little things to remember my time in the RMNP. The lady who rung us up was friendly and even offered me a free small paper bag for my magnets. Other places were charging for them. It can be a keepsake as well since it is printed with the store's name. This is a good place to shop, kill some time, and chill.

It's got everything you'd expect: T-shirts with bears on them, jars of regional jam, and an alarming number of moose-themed magnets. Honestly, it's less about what's in the shop and more about when you get there. There's a restaurant inside if you need more than trail mix to power through the next stretch of scenic driving. We didn't linger, but we were grateful they had exactly what we needed: clean bathrooms with no-touch faucets. Sometimes, timing is everything.

Under sunny skies and with the air at a comfortable 78°F (and the water a refreshing 60°F), we couldn't have asked for better conditions. Our guide, Captain Jack, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also an absolute blast--his energy made the entire experience even more memorable. We tackled a series of Class I, II, and III rapids with a great mix of adrenaline and fun. By the time we pulled out of the water, we were soaked, smiling, and already talking about doing it again. If you're ever in the area and looking for adventure, this is one to add to your list!
