We have a saying here in Estes Park. If you're lucky enough to live in the mountains - You're lucky enough. Every day is special here and you can see by the picture we aren't the only ones that think so. I was going to retire to my dream retirement location one day and retire in Estes Park, Colorado. What if I don't live that long, what if I don't make … (2 comments)

The Peak to Peak Highway and the area around Allenspark is absolutely beautiful right now. The leaves in Rocky Mountain National Park will probably be peaking this weekend just in time for Elk Fest.
Aspens surrounding the Visitors Center at Lilly Lake Driving to and from Allenspark the colors are breathtaking. If you aren't taking the time to go to the Meadow Mountain Cafe to eat and enjoy the drive, you should be.

Mom says to lay really really still - Don't run, don't move and you will be safe. It's really hard to do that, especially when I can see you. Mom says you can see them but they can't see you. Lay very still and don't move and you will be safe. Gosh mom, this is really hard. … (8 comments)
estes park colorado real estate: Trail Ridge Visitors Center
- 06/01/10 01:26 PM
There is a Visitors Center, and a Gift Shop & Coffee Shop underneath all of that snow. Trail Ridge Road was opened this weekend, but the Visitors Center and Gift Shop will be a couple more days.
Pictured above is the Trail Ridge Visitors center, still buried under a lot of snow.
This is the East Door to the Visitors Center on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. I think they have some more shoveling to do before they can get tourists inside.
It will be a day or two before they have the Coffee Shop … (0 comments)
estes park colorado real estate: Tiny Town Golf
- 05/30/10 05:52 PM
"Prices Going Up" I'm sure if you have been to Estes Park, you have golfed at Tiny Town. I stopped by to visit with Mr. Mitchell this weekend. I'm sure he wouldn't want to be called Mr. Mitchell, but everyone that left the course said "Thanks Mr. Mitchell".
BOB MITCHELL IN THE OFFICE Bob is pictured here where he can be found, and has been found for the last 55 years passing out golf balls to young and old alike.
PRICES ARE GOING UP Bob told me that he was forced to increase his prices this year. A round … (5 comments)

estes park colorado real estate: New Arrivals
- 05/23/10 05:42 PM
We've been waiting, and finally the new babies are starting to hit the ground. This is one of the first of the season.
The mothers get a little protective so it is wise to stay out of the way and use a telephoto lens. The 9 hole golf course has to close several holes due to the elk calving every year. Enjoy the wildlife, but remember that they are wild and we are the ones encroaching on their habitat. Have a great week- Gerald … (7 comments)
estes park colorado real estate: GHOST BUSTERS
- 05/16/10 03:29 AM
Many of you have probably seen the movie "Ghost Busters" and I'm sure have watched the paranormal shows on television. There is a lot of paranormal activity at the famous Historic Stanley in Estes Park although I have never personally experienced anything.
The weather and the hotel cooperated for the the annual hunt for ghosts at the hotel this year. Their is a misty cloudy veil beginning to schroud the cupelo at the hotel attempting to encase the hotel itself.
There are almost as many ghost stories about the hotel as there have been visitors. Stephen King wrote "The Shining" while staying at the hotel, and later … (2 comments)
estes park colorado real estate: NO FOOTPRINTS
- 05/15/10 06:17 PM
PARK THEATER OPENS FOR THE SEASON The Park Theater tauted as the oldest movie theater in the country still in operation was not quite ready for it's Friday opening on Thursday when I took these photo's. We received 16 inches of snow on Wednesday, and another six on Thursday. You can see that there are no footprints in the snow, and why do we have that much snow in May?
The Park Theater has a story all it's own, and particularly the tower above the theater which is empty.
The snow was shoveled, and the crowds welcomed the old … (5 comments)
