Why does this have to be suffixed with the State in the title? Insofar as I am aware, there are no other Estes Parks in the world, so is such designation necessary? It is especially unhelpful when trying to link via "Go". If there are more than one of a place, if there is an obviously well known one it can take the title and others can have a place designation (such as Paris and Paris, Texas) and if there is no consensus a disambiguation page would solve this.

Well, I can't answer as to why it has to be referenced that way, but I can tell you why it is referenced that way. This, along with many other US geographic articles, was created by Ram-Man and his bot Rambot from public-domain geographical data, and that is how the city is referenced there. Since that is the de facto standard now, we should either stick to it or completely ditch it; making individual exceptions is probably even more confusing and unhelpful than things are now.
