Cedar Upper Estate Condo at Windcliff: Top of the World RMNP Views, Hot Tub, Wildlife

Cedar Upper, the highest residence on Ram’s Horn Mountain, is the pinnacle penthouse at prestigious Windcliff Estates. Securely anchored to the rocks of the Ram’s Horn, Cedar Upper stands at 9,000 feet. That’s 1.7 miles high in the sky above mean sea level! And, perfectly-centered in your field of view, Long’s Peak (14,255’) towers yet another mile into the crystal blue Colorado Sky. Long’s Peak is the tallest of the great mountain masses in Rocky Mountain National Park, Windcliff’s neighbor, and is drum major for the stately parade of mountain peaks marching north to south to form America’s western Continental Divide. Meet these mountains. After all, it seems you are close enough to shake hands. They are Mount Meeker, the Chief’s Head, McHenry’s Peak, Powell Peak, Taylor, Otis, Hallet, Flattop, Notchtop and Gabletop. Glaciers, cirques, rocks, and rills adorn their slopes. Massive forests creep up to the tree line. These peaks, dappled or packed with snow year ‘round, constitute the majestic “Front Range” of the Rocky Mountains. Pick a deck. There is a trilogy of west-facing decks at Cedar Upper. Your view from any of the three is one of the singularly-most-spectacular views from any deck or vantage point anywhere in the world! Sit for a spell. Beautiful, towering pines brush the railings of this top-floor duplex. Birds settle in to serenade your reverie. The great world outside is reflected in the massive scale of Cedar Upper. Soaring beamed ceilings rise to meet clerestory windows and the sky they hold at bay. Oversized furnishings compliment the scale of your surroundings. Great slabs of rock frame the wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen, bar, and dining suites offer every amenity. Two master king suites make every visit a royal occasion. The third ensuite, mountain-view bedroom is perfect for the princes or princesses in your entourage. Antiques, artifacts, and art indicative of Colorado and her past adorn Cedar Upper like a fine museum. Step out back at Cedar Upper and touch the cool, granite mass of Ram’s Horn Mountain. Gnarly roots of stately trees grip the rocky ledges. Chipmunks and squirrels dart through the undergrowth. Aspens quake. A torrent of water spilling over the rocks of the Ram’s Horn splashes into a pool at your feet. Walk the winding path to the northeast extremity of Cedar Upper where a hot tub nestles among the rocks and trees awaiting your pleasure. No other hot tub anywhere offers more spectacular views of this wondrous realm. And what you can see by day is only a hint of what you can envision when night has fallen. The unbelievably clear sky of Colorado welcomes a host of stars and planets as you have likely never seen them. At Cedar Upper you are closer and more attuned to the universe and its majesty. Billions of galaxies appearing as but pin pricks of light illuminate both the night sky and your wondering soul. Meteors streak to destinations unknown. And, you can read a book by the light of the moon when it is of a mind to be full. Lest we forget, you have likely come to Cedar Upper as a base to enjoy the multitude of offerings within easy reach of Windcliff. Not just in sight but within easy reach, the 400 square miles of magnificent Rocky Mountain National Park beckon with myriad roads, trails, lakes, and torrents. And, the quaint visitor hub of Estes Park nestled nearby offers shops of every ilk, creative dining, and attractions galore.
