About Glen Haven

Glen Haven is an unincorporated community about 7 miles north of Estes Park via Devil’s Gulch Road. The downtown portion is located in a narrow valley along the north fork of the Big Thompson River.

Although parts of the community were heavily damaged in the 2013 floods, this resilient community is dedicated to rebuilding their once vibrant downtown.

The Glen Haven General Store survived the flood, and is still serving up their famous homemade cinnamon rolls daily in the summer.
