This is a place unlike any other... Just ask anyone who has stopped by. A hundred-year-old building with walls that whisper, and floors that creak underfoot; A place with a rich and rare history; A locally cherished patina of our town, left by time and an endless parade of characters... Off the beaten path, along the scenic Peak to Peak highway, Nestled at the base of Long's Peak, you're sure to discover one of the Rocky Mountains’ best kept secrets, enveloped in the cultural traditions and arts of the Native Americans. Eagle Plume's is a historic trading post established 1917 that is located in beautiful Allenspark, Colorado. Be sure to make a stop at our little friend and family run historical museum/Native jewelry shop the next time you’re in Estes Park, Allenspark, or even just driving along the lovely Peak to Peak Highway.

We stopped at the store 4 years ago while visiting Estes Park. My first stop at the store was in 1976, when Charles was running things and telling his stories about artifacts. Anyway, I bought something that caught my wife`s eye, and went to check out. Charlie looked at my item and told me, "I don`t like to make change, buy something else." I still laugh to this day at his suggestion. I did share this story with the owners and they said it was just like Charlie. So much history contained in the store. Will be back next year.

Inspired by a biblical phrase “upon this rock I will build my church.” Stopped here on our way to Estes Park, and I highly encourage you to do the same. It’s a beautiful chapel with interesting history. It’s truly inspirational and picturesque!

I was so impressed with this stop! This is a local community center/charity with a ton of local art for purchase. I spent at least 30 minutes browsing a wide variety of art (watercolor prints and originals, pottery, glass, fabric/woven art, etc). The gals working, probably volunteering, were SO HELPFUL providing information and recommendations for the Peak to Peak drive. Very clean restrooms and snacks available for purchase.

If you are in Allespark, don't miss stopping into Distant Harbors if you''re fortunate enough to be there when they are open (seasonal hours). . Even if you aren't a shopper, it is a one of a kind shop. Christine, the proprietor, has a creative sense of design and a knack for finding interesting, unique items ( from many locations/harbors) . She brings in local artists and craft people and has a story to tell about each one, if you're interested! You can sit on the front porch for awhile and take in local, townspeople activity. The bulding itself is a historic landmark! And did I mention the boutique in the back room? Again, Christine has a unique sense of style and you just might find something!
