The reason I produce videos about Estes Park and stand in front of a camera, is because not only do we run Estes Park’s only tv station, The Rocky Mountain Channel, but I am professional journalist with a background as a broadcast news reporter. That was my dream since I was in first grade.

Unfortunately, social media has turned this profession into something that can be ripped off and mimicked with a cell phone, a cheap camera set up and some $15 microphones from Amazon. Even more importantly, a script written with a quick ChatGPT prompt… no journalism training, writing and reporting experience needed!

It works because audiences have stopped caring about quality and would rather consume quantity and cheap attention grabbers.

People have been asking me lately why I haven’t been posting Claire from Estes videos, and the answer is… what I do means so much to me, and I have been completely discouraged by the rip offs. Because what I do is real and meaningful and now it no longer feels that way. It feels completely cheapened and like it’s become some kind of weird game for views and follows.

I was never doing this for attention. I was doing it because it’s what I love. Unfortunately, that’s not what matters anymore.

I know they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but boy, it sure doesn’t feel that way.

Looking for an easier way into Rocky Mountain National Park?

Skip the crowds and check out the Fall River Entrance on the north side of Estes Park!

Newly renovated entrance station
Typically shorter lines
Less than ¼ mile to the Fall River Visitor Center with National Park staff ready to help
Less than ¼ mile to Rocky Mountain Gateway featuring:
• The area’s largest gift shop
• Clean restrooms
• Full-service restaurant
• Grocery store
• Ice cream & milkshakes
• Kids playground
• Plenty of free parking

Best of all, you’re already surrounded by incredible wildlife and wilderness before you even enter the park.

Next time you’re headed to Rocky Mountain National Park, consider taking the scenic route through the Fall River Entrance. It might just become your new favorite way to start your adventure.

I have a secret... there’s a way into Rocky Mountain National Park that doesn’t involve sitting in the entrance line, a park pass, or a timed entry reservation... 🐴🤫
