Bustang set to offer rides to Estes Park, making RMNP accessible for more people

The Colorado Department of Transportation's Bustang to Estes service is back.

According to an Instagram post by Rocky Mountain National Park, Bustang will offer service to Bear Lake Road Corridor starting on May 25. The buses will drop passengers off at RMNP's Park & Ride Transit Hub. Riders can then transfer to the park's Bear Lake or Moraine Park shuttles, which will take them to places like Moraine Park, Sprague Lake Glacier Gorge, and Bear Lake.

Bustang riders can access Estes Park via a number of places , including Denver's Union Station and Boulder.

Visitors heading to Rocky Mountain National Park will need a park entrance pass as well as a Bustang ticket. If there are two or more Bustang riders in your group, the 1-Day Vehicle Pass will cover all members of your party.

The post also explains that Bustang riders traveling to RMNP should be ready to spend the day outside. Riders should bring full water bottles, food for the day, footwear and clothing for hiking.
