Estes Parks ~ Birch Ruins~ the beautiful remains a onetime spectacular mansion overlooking the city

I made the climb to Birch Ruins several years ago, and have been wanting to go again for quite some time. 

Circumstances have prevented that from happening until my most recent trip to Estes Parks.

My brother got to accompany us on this adventure.

Shiloh always gets the best seat in the house.

I love the view from the big bay windows.

Mr Birch must have been really bummed when his dream house burned down. 

You can read about it here.

The ruins are deffinately a worthwhile excoursions if you're planning a visit to Estes.
