June 27th-Soups & Muffins

Good Morning!

Last night our dining guests left very satisfied not only because of the wonderful food they ate but also because of the bear they saw just north of our main lodge! Come join us for a meal today anytime between 11:30am and 8:00pm-you may get a chance to see a bear too!

It looks like it's going to be another glorious day here at The Baldpate Inn! The sun is shining brightly with the temperature already at 62*-just standing outside on the porch enjoying the incredible view and taking in a deep breath of the crisp-clean mountain air, is more than anyone could ask for!

Beef Stew and Tomato Rice (vegetarian) are the soups our chef is busy preparing back in the kitchen today! Our Honey Wheat Bread would go nicely with either. We have two savory muffins for your tastebuds today: Green Onion Cheese along with Buttermilk Bran. Our third muffin made for those with more of a sweet tooth is Zucchini Nut! End your meal with a slice of our homemade pie-any of them would be good with a scoop of ice cream!

We'd love to have you join us today for our soups, salads, and muffins! Remember to save room for pie. To make reservations, please call us at 970-586-6151 or toll free at 866-577-5397.

Soups and Muffins!

Good Morning, Estes Park!

It looks like we are going to have another day of beautiful weather here at The Baldpate! Yesterday I was able to enjoy the weather as I went fly fishing for the first time with my guide, Chris, from Wild Basin. It was so much fun! Chris met me across the street at Lily Lake and provided me with a pole and those fun boots and plastic pants that let you wade into the water. I wish I could've taken a picture! If you're interested in going fly fishing (and after my experience, I definitely recommend it) give Chris a call at (303) 525- 7373.

Today would be a great day to stop into The Baldpate for lunch or dinner! Our chef has prepared our Pumpkin Curry soup and Red Chili for today's menu. Try our Onion Garlic or Banana Butterscotch muffins that will be coming fresh out of the oven along with our famous cornbread! If you'd like to make reservations, please call me at (970) 586- 6151, we'd love to see you here!

June 23rd-Soups & Muffins

Good Morning!

What a wonderful sight it is to watch the hummingbirds dance across the mountain backdrop! At least a dozen are already out enjoying the beautiful wheather. Today the sun is sending down its warmth here at The Baldpate Inn and the leaves are moving in harmony with the morning breeze. Both are awaiting your arrival!

A gentle breeze greeted me as I headed out the door on my walk for the daily paper. It looks like it's going to be another great day! Just a moment ago I had a lovely chat with a guest who put it best: "It's beautiful!" I couldn't agree more.

Today the chef is busy preparing two soups that are sure to please your tastebuds anytime between 11:30am and 8:00pm today: White Chili and Corn Chowder! If you just cannot get enough of our mouth-watering Baldpate Cornbread, you are in luck as it is on the menu today along with our Honey Wheat Bread. Both of these would accompany either soup nicely! Fresh out of the oven are our Lemon Ginger Muffins (featured in Bon Appetit) and Apple Raisin Spice Muffins (non-dairy). A slice of homemade pie-with or without ice cream-would make a perfect ending to a great meal!

We'd love to have you join us today for our soups, salads, and muffins! Remember to save room for pie. To make reservations, please call us at 970-586-6151 or toll free at 866-577-5397. You can always find out more about The Baldpate Inn at http://www.baldpateinn.com/

Soups, Muffins and Estes Cone!

Good Morning, Estes Park!
Lately I've met a lot of Baldpate guests who have hiked to the top of Estes Cone. Hearing their stories made me want to hike there myself, so that's what I did! Our Baldpate Events Manager, Jody, and myself left The Baldpate at 4am (while the moon was still out!) to make it to the top of Estes Cone and back down again before we were scheduled to work that afternoon. It was a hard hike, but the view at the top made it all worth it! Here are a couple pictures from our hike:
(This is me at the very top where it was very windy!)

(A view of the sunrise we saw on our hike up to Estes Cone)

If you have any suggestions for my next hiking adventure, please stop by the front desk today and tell me all about it! Stay for a while and treat yourself to our Tropical Breeze or Blueberry Muffins. Potato Leek soup (my favorite!) and Beef Stew will be featured today along with our famous cornbread. Today we are celebrating this Sunny Sunday by offering a "Sunday Sundae"- Ice Cream Sundaes for $1.50! Prizes will be awarded to the customers with the best sandals, flip-flops, or Hawaiian shirts. And today is the last day to enter to win our *Grand Prize* drawing for a Key Gift Certificate!
I hope to see you here in your best summer gear! For reservations, please call me at (970) 586- 6151.

June 17th-Soups & Muffins

Good Morning!

Wow what a breath-taking morning we are having here at The Baldpate Inn: the sun is shining down brightly on us, waiting to share its warmth, the hummingbirds are out by at least the dozen if not more, birds are singing and one couldn't ask for a better view.

As I sit here at the desk I can see the leaves on the trees gently dancing with the breeze as the sun ever so lightly places a kiss on them. It's not too hot or too cold here and a couple guests were able to enjoy their morning coffee on the front porch while they enjoyed the beautiful view!

Today the chef is busy preping two wonderful soups: Cowboy Buffalo Stew and Pumpkin Curry (vegetarian). Don't forget to accompany it with a slice of our Honey Wheat Bread or mouth-watering Baldpate Cornbread. Not only are both these breads fresh out of the oven, but our Lemon Ginger Muffins (featured in Bon Appetit) and Apple Raisin Spice Muffins (non-dairy) are as well! Also our homemade pies are awaiting your arrival-with or without ice cream either would end your meal wonderfully!

We'd love to have you join us today any time between 11:30am and 8:00pm for our soups, salads, and muffins! Remember to save room for pie.

June 14th-Soups & Muffins

Good Morning!

I don't think we could have asked for a better morning! Some of our guests were up bright and early to greet the day with their beautiful smiles and wonderful attitudes! It was a treat for me to watch a couple guests do their knitting in the lobby-the finished projects are going to be beautiful!

This morning on my way to get the daily paper I was greeted by a gentle mountain breeze plus the added pleasure of nothing but blue skies! The sun is shining brightly over The Baldpate Inn ready to greet you on your way up to dine with us anytime between 11:30am and 8:00pm. Again the hummingbirds are out and about. Can you keep your eye on them as they quickly dance across the sky? Then again you have a good chance of catching one feeding from any of the five feeders we have.

"Is it soup yet?" (A saying brought to my attention this morning-for if something is ready yet.) Today the chef is busy preparing two great soups: Cream of Mushroom (vegetarian) and White Chili. Fresh out of the oven today to go wonderfully with either soup is our tasty Honey Wheat Bread and of course our mouth-watering Baldpate Cornbread. Also to get your tastebuds moving are our savory Zucchini Dill Muffins-but if you are more of a sweet person, don't worry-our Banana Butterscotch Muffins are on the menu today as well. Save room for a slice of homemade pie-with or without ice cream any of them would make a wonderful dessert!

This Sunday is Father's Day! Why not celebrate it right here at The Baldpate Inn? All fathers will receive a free scoop of ice cream with their pie-this is in honor of our Innkeeper Lois' father. He loved ice cream!

After dining with us a relaxing stroll around Lily Lake or a drive through Rocky Mountain National Park would top of the day nicely! In RMNP yesterday the elk were out enjoying the beautiful weather and the moon was hanging over the mountains-making way for wonderful pictures.

We'd love to have you join us today for our soups, salads, and muffins! Remember to save room for pie. To make reservations, please call us at 970-586-6151 or toll free at 866-577-5397. You can always find out more about The Baldpate Inn at http://www.baldpateinn.com/

June 13th-Soups & Muffins

Good Morning!

I was greeted by the fresh mountain air as well as the brightly shining sun, sending down its warmth to cut through the cool of the morning on my way to get the daily paper. It looks like it is going to be a wonderful Friday (oh my-it's Friday the 13th), with only a few clouds in the sky and the hummingbirds dancing around the feeders awaiting your arrival!

Come join us to eat between 11:30am and 8:00pm to unlock the mystery of your tastebuds with either our Red Chili or Broccoli Cheese Soup (vegetarian) both of which our chef is busy preparing! Either would warm you up, plus go great with a slice of our Honey Wheat Bread! Fresh out of the oven today is our mouth-watering Baldpate Cornbread along with our Oatmeal Blues (don't worry-you'll be anything but blue after eating them) and Mandarin Orange Muffins! Finally don't forget to save room for a slice of homemade pie-even on a cool day like today a scoop of ice cream with top off any of them nicely!

This Sunday is Father's Day! Why not celebrate it right here at The Baldpate Inn? All fathers will receive a free scoop of ice cream with their pie-this is in honor of our Innkeeper Lois' father. He loved ice cream!

Good Morning, Estes Park!








Check out Gabe, our Dining Room Manager on the left, posing for a picture on our hike to Emerald Lake a few days ago. So much snow!
I snapped this picture of the hummingbirds the other day as I was taking photos for our Baldpate Keynotes Newsletter. I wanted the best pictures possible, so instead of photographing the birds through the windows on our sun porch, I opened the windows. That was a big mistake! One of the hummingbirds flew into our sun porch and couldn't find his way back to the open window! Luckily, our Dining Room Manager, Gabe, came to the rescue. He ever so gently guided the hummingbird back to the window with a napkin and then scooped the hummingbird into the napkin and released it out of the open window! It was an amazing sight! I am just thankful that this happened *before* our restaurant opened for the day!

If you'd like to receive our electronic Baldpate Keynotes Newsletter, please follow the link at the bottom of our homepage at http://www.baldpateinn.com/ ... then you can see my photo of the hummingbirds that made the cut for front page of the Newsletter!

Join us today for lunch or dinner and taste our yummy Lemon Ginger or Golden Sunshine muffins. They will go great with our Buffalo Cowboy Stew or Corn Chowder. Our famous cornbread will be coming out of the oven and onto your plate, so stop on by and enjoy a great meal and meet our very own Hummingbird Whisperer, Gabe! For reservations, please call (970) 586- 6151 or if you are out of town, dial us toll-free at (866) 577-5397.


Hope to see you here!

Happy June 5th everyone! With lack of summer spirit, Jack Frost has decided to disrupt all the fun and show his face. It is currently SNOWING here at The Baldpate Inn.

Therefore, you should come up and relax to a warm cup of soup. Today we are serving beef stew and corn chowder to keep you warm! We also have zucchini nut, buttermilk bran (our General Manager MacKenzie's favorite!) and onion garlic muffins fresh out of the oven! To add to the excellence, have a piece of our homemade honey wheat bread and a warm slice of pie to stay warm!

After your meal feel free to come sit by the fire and share the beautiful day with me at the front desk.

Good Morning!

Did anyone see the lightening dancing across the sky just above the mountains surrounding us last night? It was a beautiful sight to see!

The crisp, cool morning greeted me as I headed out the door on my way to pick up the paper and I had a lovely chat with a local resident who was out on a hike. The hummingbirds are already out and about enjoying the sun that is brightly shining on us this morning!

Our soups today, which the chefs are busy preparing are White Chili and Potato Leek (Vegetarian). A slice of our Honey Wheat Bread would go wonderfully with either soup. The muffins coming fresh out of the oven this morning are Classic Blueberry, Lemon Ginger (featured in Bon Appetit), and of course our mouth-watering Corn Bread.

We'd love to have you join us today anytime between 11:30am and 8:00pm to enjoy the soups, salads, and muffins as well as a slice of pie-a scoop of ice cream would top it off nicely! If you would like to make a reservation with us-give us a call at 970-586-6151 or toll free at 866-577-5397. You can always find out more about The Baldpate Inn at http://www.baldpateinn.com/

Have a wonderful day!

June 3 Soup of the Day

Good morning!

What a splendid morning here at The Baldpate Inn! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and there's not a cloud in the sky!

Today our chef is serving up our delicious Cowboy Buffalo Stew and Broccoli Cheese Soup. Our fresh baked breads include All Bran and Mandarin Orange muffins. Yummy!

We hope you can make it out today to enjoy the weather, the view, and the birds! We'd be absolutely delighted to see you!

Monday, June 2nd: Soups and Muffins

Good Morning, Estes Park!

Have you had the chance to go outside this morning? It is a BEAUTIFUL day! I'm so happy that our guests who are climbing the Twin Sisters Mountain will have great hiking weather today! The Twin Sisters trail head is so close to The Baldpate Inn that many of our guests and staff members are able to hike that trail during the day. I'm happy to say that tomorrow myself, Jamie (our Front Desk Associate from Missouri) and Payton (our Server from Alabama) will be attempting to conquer Twin Sisters for the first time....wish us luck!

Come out for a hike up Twin Sisters or a stroll around Lily Lake (just across the street!) and make sure to stop in for our delicious Oatmeal Blues and Trail Mix muffins that will be coming hot out of the oven. Our famous cornbread will no doubt be tasty along side of our Red Chili and Cream of Mushroom soup today!

To make dining reservations, please call us at our toll-free number (866) 577-5397, we'd love to hear from you! Lodging reservations can be made over the phone or on our website at http://www.baldpateinn.com/ ...come and stay for awhile!

Hope to see you soon!
