Estes Park Trip


The inside of the cabin we stayed at while in Estes Park.


View from the back deck overlooking the river.


The afternoon we got up to Estes Park, a wildfire followed us up...and yes we got pictures!



Really good picture of a SEAT drop....it was hard to get pics of him because he would fly low behind the trees.



That night we did our "official" ghost tour.  Below are the pics of Karl and K.J., the ghost guys.


Our "scared" faces...lol.


Eric and Tyler during the ghost tour intro.

The piano in the lobby that is said to play itself sometimes.....most likely by Mrs. Stanley.


Lobby of the Stanley Hotel.


The manor house, where in the room we spent time at, we experienced the weird growl and something moved on the floor towards Eric and Tyler.

The next day (Sunday), we spent the afternoon in Rocky Mountain National Park getting pictures.









Sunday night we goofed off at the Stanley.  It was Tyler and his wife, Kari's birthday.  The picture above it the guys in front of the picture of the moon landing, which was from the movie Dumb & Dumber (which the hotel bar scene was shot at the Stanley).


Tyler was a little drunk..........


Eric and I in front of the Stanley Steamer.



One of the tunnels under the Stanley hotel.


Tyler's wife, Kari, and the rest of us.


Tyler & Eric....awwww!


We took some pictures along the way as we drove through RMNP to go up to Steamboat Springs.




The sky was SO blue!






Saw some elk up at the top!


And our final stop......Steamboat Springs.  We went to Strawberry Park that night for a 2 hour stew in the natural hot springs up there.  Nothing like a dark night sky filled with stars!
