Estes Park Colorado Candy Shop May Be Named Best in the Country
A visit to Estes Park should almost always be accompanied by a stroll downtown. It's there that you'll find numerous amazing restaurants, various mom-and-pop retail stores, and the famous candy shop that is nominated for a prestigious award.
Aptly named The Taffy Shop, this Estes Park staple has been supplying Coloradans and tourists alike with innumerable flavors of saltwater taffy for nearly 90 years.
