Lodging

Lodging is being held for you and your roommates ( if you choose) at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, CO. We have two different lodges. The Emerald Mountain Lodge is the more upscale accommodations of the two. Each room features two queen beds, and a full bath. All bed and bath linens are provided. For more affordable rooms, we have the Twin Sisters Lodge (see the landing page for more details on both lodges). If you do choose to have roommates, it’s imperative one person take the service roll of reserving the room. That person will be required to place the 35% down on the room  and later collect the fees of their roommates upon checkout. *There are rooms, just call 800-777-9622 to book.
