Location of hotel

Hi - trying to decide between staying at Best Western Silver Saddle or Silver Moon Inn. Is the Best Western walkable to the main area with shops and restaurants or will we need to rely on car or shuttle? We will be there July 1 - 4 so we know it will also be busy. Thanks!

First time visitors to the area. We are attending the show at Red Rocks on July 4th and plan a visit to RMNP before the show on the 4th. We plan on staying in Estes Park but are trying to decide between 2 or 3 nights before moving closer to Red Rocks. We know it will be crowded because of the holiday but it was either do it this way or not at all! What kind of crowds and traffic should we expect?

Things we would like to do - the drive to Alpine Visitors Center, somewhat shorter hikes (I am in process of researching these now). Checkout the shops etc. in Estes.

July 1 - arrive Denver 8:30 am; get rental and drive to Estes hotel - will have from early afternoon to evening for activities

July 2 - RMNP

July 3 - RMNP or head to Airbnb or hotel somewhere around Red Rocks - maybe Golden ???

July 4 - evening concert

July 5th - later flight from Denver

Recommendations- 2 or 3 nights Estes?

Thanks!
