Spur 66 Corridor
 Estes Park's Spur 66 corridor is one of the best kept secrets in this resort area and has entertained visitors for well over 100 years. It is the site of the original entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.
With the Big Thompson River running right through the heart of Spur 66, this is one of Estes Park's most scenic areas. It is convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park as well as downtown Estes Park. In the center of the Spur, you will find the Dunraven Inn (970-586-6409), also known as the Rome of the Rockies. This is one of Estes Park's premiere restaurants, serving delicious Italian food, great steaks and fresh fish for many years.
