The Estes Park Convention & Visitors Bureau helps journalists with information about "the Real Rockies." Assistance ranges from simple fact checks, story ideas and contact information to accommodations and itinerary planning. The Bureau  always is willing to support freelance or staff writers, TV, film and radio crews or other journalists working on travel-related stories about Estes Park.

Ample notification when requesting lodging or more complicated arrangements is appreciated and hotel availability is dependent upon time of year. During the area's busiest season, typically from mid-June through August, we may be unable to provide complimentary accommodations. However, we can request a travel industry rate for you.

The Estes Park CVB values its professional relationships with the media and welcomes every opportunity to provide whatever assistance it can. So if you have an assignment or are looking for a great story idea, the Estes Park CVB communications staff can help.
