Michael Young Returns to Estes Park Health to Paint a Fourth Mural
Estes Park Health has invited local artist Michael Young to return for a fourth time to adorn the walls of the hospital with the beautiful natural scenes he creates with his paintbrush.
Inspired by the groves of aspen trees throughout Estes Valley, Young has created a concept of life-size aspens on the walls of the main lobby for this new mural.

Natural sunlight radiates throughout the lobby thanks to the tall windows on the front of the building, but this colorful addition of towering aspen trees rising above the staircase will add an additional sense of nature.
This is Young’s fourth mural for EPH. His first mural, completed in March 2024 on the north wall in the upstairs waiting area, features columbine in various colors, aspen trees and verdant greens. The second mural, “Healing Horizon,” is located in the downstairs Physician and Specialty Clinics waiting area and was completed in June 2024. “Evening River,” Young’s third mural for EPH, is located on the first floor and features a mountain, stream, aspens, pine trees and a few animals tucked into the scene.
This fourth mural in the continuation of the aspen theme should be completed by mid-May.
