They steered me to the trout worms over earthworms because they can be kept at room temp and they're smaller so they're easier to use. I told them what tackle I was using and they helped me dial it in. They gave me lots of recommendations and tips for the various lakes, streams in town. 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. Top quality customer service and amazing local knowledge!!

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.

Outdoor world is an awesome gear store in Estes Parks for all of your outdoor needs while visiting…read moreRMNP. The store has been here for decades, and has a good selection of boots, shoes, camping gear, fleeces, hiking poles, rain gear- you name it! Recently, we have begun enjoying snow shoeing in the winter, and needed an extra pair for a visitor, so in we went to Outdoor Gear, where they bent over backwards to get us outfitted for the very reasonable price of $6 for a 24 hour rental. The snow shoes worked great, the staff was friendly, problem solving (what to put on a dog's feet so they can go snow shooing too?) and it was a great experience. In the summer, the store can get crazy busy and it is less possible to get the full attention service like we did in the winter. In that case, wait your turn, present your need or problem, and they will do everything they can to help you! Your purchase will be top quality and last for years! I have a hiking pack from the 90's, my first pair of hiking poles from 2004, water bottles- all in working order today!

You should definitely make this one of your stops while In town, I will definitely be back on my next visit to Estes Park!

We had the pleasure of fishing with Kyle Von Eiff from Kirk's Flyshop on two separate trips--one on…read moreLake Estes and another on Grand Lake--and both days were absolutely outstanding. Kyle is an exceptional guide and boat captain. His knowledge of the lakes, trout behavior, and where the fish were actively feeding was incredible. Thanks to his expertise, we caught our limit both days and landed four beautiful species of trout: Brown, Lake, Rainbow, and Brook trout. It was more success than we ever imagined! What really sets Kyle apart is how hard he works to make sure everyone has a memorable day on the water. He was patient, encouraging, professional, and always focused on helping us catch fish while making the experience enjoyable. Whether you're an experienced angler or it's your first time fishing, you'll learn from him and have a fantastic time. If you're considering a guided trip in the Estes Park or Grand Lake area, don't hesitate to book with Kyle. We can't recommend him highly enough and will definitely be fishing with him again on our next trip to Colorado. Thank you, Kyle, for memories we'll treasure for years to come!

We visited several times over the past year and many things were still the same on the shelf. That is the reason they frequently turn down donations since they just don't have space for them. Maybe it is too costly to price stuff cheaper to afford the space or staff, but it is also a pity that instead of getting rid of the stuff that never sells they rather turn down new donations.

There were plenty of options at different price points, so even though some of the jewelry I loved was outside my budget this trip, there were still smaller things we could take home. The turquoise jewelry was especially beautiful and there were several sets I would've loved to buy. They also had a surprisingly large selection of gorgeous Turkish lamps that were fun to look at. The man working there was very friendly and helpful without ever being pushy. He carried himself very respectfully and gave us space to look around while still being available if we needed anything, which I really appreciated. We ended up leaving with a couple of smaller pieces. I picked out a black worry stone and my daughter found a pink and blue crystal that she loved. There was so much to look at and choose from that I would absolutely stop in again the next time we're in Estes Park. Hopefully next time I'll have a little more room in the budget because there were definitely a few pieces I would've loved to bring home!

It looks great in our home, and we'll be ordering a custom bench sometime soon. Also, Naked Aspen is our go-to spot for unique gifts. They have lots of artists, most Colorado 'local' with a few others thrown in for good measure. In addition to the beautiful furniture, they have lamps, metalwork, candles, textiles, jewelry, wall art, etc. If you're looking for a statement piece, they have ski lift benches and some larger wooden wall art. I bring all our guests here to shop, and almost all leave with something. There's something for everyone, with pricepoints for every budget. By far one of the best stores in the valley!
