I really miss living close to the mountains. I can see mountains from our house, but they are in the distance. On Saturday, we drove up to Estes Park. It is about 30 minutes away, it is surrounded by Rocky Mountain National Park, it's beautiful there. It's almost like a mini Park City. Downtown has lots of fun little shops. We ate yummy fudge, taffy, and candy. It was quite cold there, so we look forward to going back up there when it warms up a little.
One neat place we visited was the Stanley Hotel. It's an older hotel, some people say it is haunted, they do ghost tours. A very cool part of the history of the Stanley is that Stephen King stayed there and it was his inspiration for the novel "The Shining". He actually began writing "The Shining" while he was staying in Room 217. I think it looks a lot like the hotel in the movie.
