As Pierre and I try to explore as much of the Denver area that we can, we decided to spend a day up at Estes Park, CO back in February. We had heard a lot about this place and thought it would be fun to take a drive up in the mountains for the day. This town is part of the Rocky Mountain National Park.
It was a picturesque place;there were mountains, a lake, and many cabins.
We first went to the Stanley Hotel which is a historic building and known to be a haunted hotel as well. If you have seen or read "The Shining", it is the haunted hotel that is in that story supposedly. It was a neat building to walk around outside and inside. It was huge. With all the haunted stories, I don't think I would be brave enough to actually stay there for a night.
We also took a walk around the frozen lake, drove around the town a bit, and went to lunch. It was a pretty drive in the mountains and now we have another place to mark off our list of places we've been!
