August 1-3

We traveled along the eastern side of the Rockies to Manor RV Park in Estes Park, Colorado. Beautiful scenery along the way. Wednesday we explored downtown Estes Park, cute, expensive and very touristy with an awesome Riverwalk. We also took a guided tour of the historic Stanley Hotel built by F. O. Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame. The hotel is also famous for being haunted and was the inspiration for Stephen King's novel the Shining.👻http://www.stanleyhotel.com/about.html
Thursday was cold and stormy so we drove through Rocky Mountain National Park, from Estes Park on the east to Grand Lake on the west. Wandered around downtown Grand Lake and into the lodge, took a short hike to Holzwarth Historic Site, stopped at many overlooks and two discovery centers... a good day.
