The Stanley Hotel--Estes Parks Colorado

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.

Estes Parks Aerial Tramway

Estes Parks Arial Tramway is a great place to take the family to visit when they come to town.

The transportation is none to shabby.

The view from the top is breathtaking.

The view of the Stanley Hotel is unmatchable

Everyone loves to see snow on the mountains.

Estes Parks Theater

The Estes Parks Theater is such a beautiful building.  Just one of the charming things about this adorable little tourist town.
