For over three decades, EstesPark.com has been one of the most direct and valuable addresses on the internet for one of Colorado's most beloved destinations. This isn't just a web address. It's the digital front door to a community that welcomes millions of visitors every year.
When someone types "Estes Park" into their browser, they trust that a domain this direct will give them real answers. That trust has been built over twenty years. That trust is worth something real.
This domain could become a comprehensive booking platform connecting visitors with local businesses. It could be a trusted directory that puts the community first. It could be a resource that tells the complete, honest story of Estes Park - including the uncomfortable parts.
Here's something we need to talk about: The town's namesake, Joel Estes, owned slaves. That's documented history. (Source 1, Source 2) The community has already been wrestling with this. The conversation is happening whether anyone likes it or not.
The person who controls this domain has power to shape how that conversation unfolds online. Right now, that responsibility sits with me. But it shouldn't. Visit Estes Park should control this domain. The City of Estes Park should control it. When millions of tourists search for information about your town, they should find an official, trusted voice.
This domain gives its owner real influence over the town's narrative, its economic development, and its public image. That influence should belong to the community.
Purchase Price: $150,000 (own it immediately)
Lease Option: $2,000/month (use it while you decide, option to purchase)
This is about who gets to tell Estes Park's story online. It's about who benefits economically from the millions of people searching for this place every year. It's about taking control of your own narrative.
If you represent Visit Estes Park, the City of Estes Park, or you're a business leader who understands what this domain could mean for the community's future, let's talk.
