Unfortunately all the rooms in our room block have been booked. Currently the YMCA of the Rockies still has lodge rooms for all nights of the conference (aside from Thursday July 16th) that you can book outside of our block.
If you decide to book a room at the YMCA and you want to buy the same meal plan attendees in our room block have included in their lodging, please make your reservation by phoning the Central Reservations Department (888) 613-9622 and tell them “We are a part of CU: Internal Medicine. The room block is full, but if you have additional availability, we would like the meal package that CU: Internal Medicine is providing their guests."
Otherwise, the YMCA is about ten minutes from downtown Estes Park where there are many hotels and Airbnb/VRBO options offered on many travel webpages.
On-site complimentary recreation includes miniature golf, basketball, volleyball, tennis, indoor swimming, hiking trails, playgrounds, library, and many family programs. Archery, horseback riding, and craft projects are available on-site for a fee.
