The Stanley Hotel sits in Estes Park, Co, with beautiful mountains as a backdrop. It was somewhat creepy, even from the outside, but that was mostly due to it's reputation coloring my perceptions before I even saw it. It is quite an impressive sight. #red #troveontuesday

I really enjoyed the culture, shopping and the local atmosphere. I drove up the mountains twice and loved it both times. It was my first time and definitely not my last. I will be visiting again just for the calm and clean living.

Beautiful town with a full 360 degree view of the mountains. On our first night we saw Elk grazing in the park right downtown.

I would suggest always booking ahead for activities to secure your reservation. Especially after the pandemic when things pick back up.
