This gift shop is filled with beautiful items from pottery, scarves, seasonal hats (some fancy enough to gain you entry to the Kentucky Derby or Ascot) and all the ways to postcards, maps, magnets, fine woolen socks, and other household and patio accoutrement. I could not leave without a beautiful scarf -- my takeaway from our vacation week. Parking is plentiful, the service was spot on helpful, kind and considerately provided.

The visitor center is located just a few minutes from the Fall River entrance. There are some small exhibits but mostly it is a gift shop.

Stewart, Inc, the Rocky Mountain Nature Association, the Rocky Mountain Conservancy, & the National Park Service. Even though we arrived during the Government shutdown, it was still able to be open to the public. Thank goodness! We were so sad that other Visitor Centers were closed. We stopped at the top in the Tundra zone and found the Alpine Visitor Center closed. This Visitor Center is just outside the park entrance off of Highway 34 remains open daily from 9am-5pm and is open all year round. We had exited the park at the Fall River Station when we saw this and decided to stop in at the end of the day. The Fall River Visitor Center is the newest Visitor Center. It has a good number of exhibits featuring some of the wildlife that you might see in the national park. The Visitor Center also has a store, and a ranger desk. There are some rubber stamps for your parks passport. This visitor center also has public toilets available. We were here briefly, but it was a nice little stop!

THINGS I LEARNED AT THE VISITORS CENTER ...that I would not…read morehave known if I hadn't stopped in! 1. The first three weekends of August are peak season in Leadville starting with Boom Days and then two weekends of foot then bike races. 2. The upper level lounge (meaning liquor!) car booths on the Leadville railroad are well worth the fee and should be booked in advance. 3. The Silver Dollar Saloon is a museum of sorts with Doc Hollidays original piano among other things. 4. The Silver Kings walk/hike is a good route for a relatively easy orientation to the area. 5. The Lake County Link bus between Frisco and Leadville used to cost $5 before COVID but now its free!

Fortunately, this was one of the really good ones. My wife picked up some travel literature and some tips and recommendations on things to see and do in Leadville. The lady working at the visitor's center was very nice and quite helpful (with the possible exception of her recommendation to visit the Matchless Mine Museum). An interesting side note - my son recognized the visitor's center as one of the places he painted when visiting Leadville with a group of "work campers" from our church in North Olmsted, OH. This work camp adventure was in 1994 or 1995 and it looks like the visitor's center has been repainted since then. He also spotted the cabin next to the First Presbyterian Church of Leadville where they were staying (First Presbyterian was hosting my son's group from John Knox Presbyterian in North Olmsted).

There's a parking lot out front which fills up with people watching the Elk, walking around here, & taking the shuttle buses into town and to the Rocky Mountain National Park. You can obtain lots of free information on the Estes Park area including outdoor activities, lodging, activities around town, dining, & shopping. During the peak summer season, you can take the free town shuttles to this Visitor Center, then transfer from here to the free RMNP shuttles. Avoid parking and traffic issues during the busiest times of the year. Outside are some green areas (parklets), a pedestrian bridge that will take you across the river (where we saw Elk), some art, and the Estes Park Veterans Monument. It's a nice place to wander while stretching your legs.

Blackhawk, on the other hand, is mostly casinos - with just a bit of the old Victorian homes. The visitor center in Central City is a worthwhile stop. It's along one of main roads (there aren't many!). The gentleman in the center was very knowledgeable and helpful. For example - the fire code adopted in the late 1800's focused buildings made with stone - to resist fires. As a fire in the late 1800's (1874?) destroyed almost all of the wood frame buildings and homes. They also have quite a few historical pictures of Central City. Recommended!

Every single guest inside was wearing one, which was noticed and great. The whole staff-not-masked gave me a bad taste about this town since this was the first place I visited. Luckily the rest of the town's establishments were intelligent enough to both have the sign out front AND actually follow it. Hopefully this will be over soon but it's not over yet. Bathrooms for paying visitors only (require a key), and they were dirty. Went to the museum which was $3 or $2 for military and I think $1 for seniors, signs had many spelling mistakes and the exhibits were not very cohesive--there was no progression throughout the museum just random exhibits and artifacts. It would be extremely boring for a child.
