The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and one of the best parts was that they're pet-friendly. They even gave our dog, Luna, a treat, which made the visit even more special. We ended up purchasing a beautiful ornament, and we were told it was handcrafted by a retired local couple. We always love supporting local artisans, and it made the ornament feel even more meaningful. The quality is excellent, and it's a keepsake we'll enjoy for years to come. Whether you're shopping for your own tree or looking for a unique gift, this is definitely a store worth visiting while you're in Estes Park!

It had a TON of different things (including football, baseball, etc memorabilia). We got an ornament and they offered to customize it for free. And later when we found out more info, we went back into the store and they finished the customization. Everyone was super nice! Highly recommend if you need a present for someone

I have never been treated so rudely in a small-town tourist store that depends on their income from said Tourists!! I would like to say that I didn't reward her behavior by buying something in the damn store, but alas I found a nice little gift to buy for Christmas. Damnit! Won't go back there. Even though I'm only a tourist from about a hour and a half away!

This is our favorite stop in the park. It's the highest elevation point at almost 12,000 ft. The…read moreviews from here are spectacular. There is a very large gift shop with every t-shirt, souvenir and gizmo you could want. There is also a large cafe area that offers drinks, bakery, sandwiches and hot food. I got a Buffalo Brat(they also had Elk) and my wife got a Nathan's hot dog and a bag of chips. they were both delicious.

Let's start out by addressing how fantastic it even is that there's a visitor center at this…read moreportion of Rocky Mountain National Park. Located at 11,796 feet, they have managed to create a wonderful visitor center that has plenty of exhibits, a small bookstore, a water bottle refill station, free Wi-Fi, and large, spacious bathrooms with running water - no pit toilets to be found here! Now take a moment to think about that - this visitor center is located at the highest elevation of all the national park visitor centers, and it's still more functional than a lot of other visitor centers I have visited. Paved roads leading up here with a large parking lot. Step outside of the center, and you will get the most breathing-taking view of the park. We came in June, and there was still snow all over the mountains. Right across the pavilion from the Visitor Center, you'll also find a huge gift shop with a small cafe inside if you want a wider variety of souvenirs or some snacks. But besides the beautiful lookout, make sure to walk over to the Alpine Ridge Trail. It's 0.6 miles round trip - one straight shot up the mountain to reach the summit at an elevation of 12,005. Gorgeous views. Definitely a more moderate hike - about 225 steps to climb, plus you're at a much higher elevation so make sure to pace your breathing. Overall, a great visitors center to visit on your Rocky Mountain National Park journey. A good amount to do up here, and it's worth the visit.

I bought a dress from their clearance section (Originally $60.00) for $20.00 and I found that the owner of this gallery printed the dresses on her own. It was one of her paintings, which I thought was ravishing! She explained to me that her merchandise and paintings are all handmade and exported from other fair trade vendors. I bought a $40.00 handmade journal that was made from eco friendly material and ended up enjoying the quality of the notebook's paper. The cover was definitely cooler than some of the other cheaper notebooks I found there too. The fitting room had the cutest door painting, the inside of the fitting room has a comfy bench and I think the floor is carpet. She has Peruvian jewelry and also candles that smell delightful. This is definitely one of my favorite shops of Grand Lakes.
