I’m from Iowa and I’m 16 in a half back in may of 2021 I took a trip to Denver and i asked my parents to take a trip to the Stanley hotel because I have an obsession with paranormal, Stephan king, and everything else that has to do with the Stanley so when I graduate and turn 18 I want to move to Estes park CO so I can hopefully become a tour guide at the Stanley
We live an hour or so south in Aurora. I love visiting Estes Park but would NOT want to live there. In winter it's about 10 degrees colder than the lower elevations. In summer it's a traffic nightmare due to too many tourists combined with a bad traffic plan and too little parking. In addition, it's a small town with limited choices for shopping. I've also lived on Galveston Island in Texas and had that same experience, being cut off from other areas by the sea, in Estes Park you'll be limited in transportation by the mountains.
Also, when it snows in the Winter, you will have high winds that will drop the temp. way down. I know because I lived there for 18 years ( grew up there) .
@@EstesParkLiving It actually gets really windy at times in the Winter. One year, in certain areas like Carriage Hills, the wind tore of roof shingles off my brothers house.
Annie - Estes Park tends to be a little colder than Colorado Springs due to the elevation. We get a bit more snow, but the town does a great job of removal. Let us know if that didnt' give you the answer you were looking for.
I like the video, but y'all need to stop peddling that Colorado has 300 days of sunshine a year. You have 250. I grew up in CO and now live in Phoenix. I have 310 days of sunshine a year. You don't. Trust me. I beg for clouds lol. CO has a great marketing team. CO has 250 days and then the marketing team manipulates the partly cloudy days as sunny days. A partly cloudy day ranges from 11% cloud coverage to 89% cloud coverage. You can't have all that snow and thunderstorm chasing without clouds. Be proud of your 250. Spread the truth.
You are the one that is wrong. I live in Aurora right now and I have lived in Florida, the so-called sunshine state. Colorado does get 300 days of sunshine per year. I have also lived in Oregon, Michigan and Texas; Colorado state beats them all for sun. There are days that are partly cloudy here, but still sunny. In Michigan and Florida we could have a 20 day stretch before the sun would shine again. Just a flat gray cloud covering 100% of the sky.
@@kristinebailey6554 I'm sorry you don't believe in science. If you followed the science you would realize your perception is not reality. I lived in CO for almost 30 years. Cute that you lived in other places, but the science is the science. You're wrong and science is right.
