Stuff to Do in Estes Park: Have a Beer at the Stanley Hotel

This evening it was approaching the early dinner hour but neither Cam nor I were very hungry, but we didn't want to just sit on our butts, so we decided to hop over to the Stanley and have a drink. It may seem a sin, but despite living here for a couple months we haven't done anything else except drive past the Stanley.

I, of course, had to try the flagship brew:

(And it was darn yummy!) 

I was impressed with the moderate prices of the draught and bottled beers at the bar; most of the mixed drinks were fairly expensive but the beers were nicely priced at $5-6 per beer.

We took a brief walk around the lobby; unfortunately most of the rooms were closed off to non-registered guests, but it was pretty interesting to get a glance at the prestige of this glorious place. I have a feeling we'll be spending a night here after the wedding as a temporary getaway. At the very least, we're going to try and take one of their history/ghost tours soon, as those are very reasonably priced.

No ghosts in these pictures though....
