Bird Watching

by

IG Featured Images
Join the Newcomer Tweeters to learn about the various bird species in the Estes Park area. The group will meet at different locations around Estes Park from up in Rocky Mountain National Park on relatively easy trails to some relatively flat trails around town to even some areas down around Lyons and Longmont, depending upon the expected weather, migration of birds and what may be of interest. This is intended to be a low impact, easy walking group with no strenuous hiking required. This fun and educational group will meet year-round on the 4th Friday of every month.
The leader of the birdwatching group is Tim Orel, a graduate of the Estes Park Newcomers, but an enthusiastic amateur who enjoys not only looking for birds but also using his cameras to take pictures of them so he can identify them either on site or once he gets back home. For questions, please contact him at 303-956-8863 or at tim@orel.org.

INTEREST GROUPS: Dining Out

by

Dining Out is simply about having fun while getting to know a local restaurant and experiencing their food, drink, and service with a bunch of your newest friends. This year we will try a couple of new places, repeat some fan favorites, and return to a few we have not visited in recent years...all while attempting to avoid general meeting venues. A tall order for a small town like Estes Park! The plan is to order off the menu for a full variety of options. The group will generally meet on the second Wednesday of each month, but look for dates and locations on the Newcomer Calendar under “What’s Going On.” Interest group members will be notified via email once the calendar is finalized and the next event is open for registration. Bon appétit!

Come join the Weekend Hiking Group and explore the great outdoors in the Estes Park area with fellow hikers. Although anyone is welcome to join, this group is targeting members who work during the week and are unable to participate in the regular weekday hiking groups. Expect hikes between 3-6 miles in length with an average elevation gain of 1,000 feet. Some summer hikes can be 8-10 miles to access some higher elevation alpine lakes. This group generally hikes on Saturday or Sunday morning but occasionally schedules a Friday hike. For more information, email weekendhiking@estesparknewcomers.org. 

IMPORTANT: In order to participate in the hiking group, each member must complete the most recent 2023 release form with an ink signature, not a typed signature. Please download the form and email a copy (scan or photo) to waivers@estesparknewcomers.org.

Travel Club

by

Travel Club

In the Newcomers Travel Club, members share their adventurous stories and photos from various trips they’ve taken, both domestic and abroad. You will learn valuable travel tips while enjoying the experiences of your fellow newcomers. The Travel Club typically meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month (from September to May) at 6:30 p.m. in the Hondius Room at the Estes Park Library (due to the Library schedule this day may vary month to month). Members of Travel Club participate for a variety of reasons – some of us are looking for a preview of a trip we’re thinking about making, some are looking for tips to make travel easier or perhaps less expensive, and many of us are ‘armchair travelers’ who simply enjoy hearing about the adventures of our friends to other parts of the world. Regardless of the reason, we all enjoy getting together.

For more information, email Travel@estesparknewcomers.org.
