Rocky Mountain National Park Estes Park

Our first stop was to check in at the historic Stanley Hotel.

We could choose between the History Tour and The Shining Tour. We picked History, but there was plenty of talk about The Shining too, and the guild told about many other movies and celebrity tales that featured The Stanley Hotel.

A lot of the tour was talking about the various ghosts that inhabit the building. Look, behind us, a vision (compliments of the guide).

The Whiskey Bar.

A recreation of the hedge-maze from The Shining.

SO many mirrors.

Our perfect trail!

The fast-running stream, half-way up the trail and as far as we went.

Nice, it even looks like running water.

Ahhh, the kindness of strangers.

.

Back at our cabin, standing on the deck, listening to the run of the creek, beside our private and rather glorious hot tub, walked…

…this guy!

And living under the cabin, a sweet family of yellow-bellied marmots.

From Windy, she was faithful and persistent getting these pictures of the marmot family.

Tomorrow we’re going home after an amazing two weeks. Thank you sister for joining in and for all you did to make it beautiful❤️ Here’s to next time!
