Good morning!

It is another lovely morning here at the Baldpate Inn!  As the weather is turning to Autumn I am certainly glad to have hot homemade soups available everyday to keep me warm.  Today we will be serving our delicious Beef Stew, and our Broccoli Cheese soup.  Our muffins are Pumpkin, and Mandarin Orange. 

Don't forget about our Summer Enchanted Evenings tomorrow night at 7:00 PM here at the Baldpate Inn library.  Our topic is “What’s Wrong with this Picture?” and will be presented by John Meissner.
Join the Estes Park History Rescue Project for this Wednesday’s Summer Enchanted Evenings for a 45-minute look at the current state of our past. “What’s Wrong with this Picture?” will examine information assigned to 10 crucial photographs or buildings that Estes Park has yet to get right, and absolutely must correct and reach community consensus on before Estes approaches its 2017 centennial.

In 1992, as Estes Park prepared for its 75th birthday, a large number of commemorative plaques and monuments were placed in downtown open spaces and on historic buildings. While most of the information incorporated on the markers was accurate, some of the dates and locations were grossly inaccurate. With the advent of easily searchable electronic databases, it is clear that, in some cases, where information was ambiguous (sometime in the 1930s, around this neighborhood, etc.) it can now be made precise, and where information was precise, it was often wrong. Indeed, some of the dates assigned to “classic” and frequently reproduced Estes Park images are off by as much as a decade.

If you would like to join us for dining please call for reservations at 970-586-5397. Hope to see you then!

Nearing the end of August

Good morning everyone!

Hard to believe it's almost the end of August already, isn't it?  This month has absolutely flown by here at the Baldpate and the fall season grows on us more and more everyday.  As it has gotten colder in the evenings, our hummingbirds have started to leave us for the summer, but they have been replaced by 4 gorgeous Stellar Jays.  As I usually tell guests, "they look like bluejays on steroids with a mohawk."  They are beautiful birds and certainly provide plenty of entertainment for us.

Soups of the Day: Red Chili and Corn Chowder

Muffins of the Day: Trail Mix and Banana Butterscotch

As usual, we always recommend reservations and those can be made by phone (970-586-5397) or on our website.

Take care,

Sunny Sunday!

Good Morning everyone!  It's a beautiful day here in the mountains of Estes Park, CO.  As always, our Soup and Salad Specialty Buffet is looking fantastic.  On today's menu we have our delicious Beef Stew and Potato Leek Soup.  To compliment our soups we have our Zucchini Nut & Lemon Blueberry muffins.  And remember to save room for our assortment of delicious homemade pie!   Along with the great food we have an equally fantastic view of the town of Estes Park.  So come and join us for a day away from the ordinary at the Baldpate Inn!

Reservations recommended at 970-586-5397

Sunny Saturday

Good Morning Everyone!

The autumn season is starting to get underway here at the Baldpate Inn.  While the weather still feels like summer, the aspen trees are starting to show signs that fall is just around the corner.  On my walk up the driveway this morning, I noticed a small handful of aspen leaves that have started to get some yellow spots on them.  In a few weeks, the mountains will be peppered with golden yellow as all the aspens begin to change color.

Soups of the Day: White Chili and Garden Vegetable

Muffins of the Day: Cranberry Nut and Green Onion Cream Cheese

Even as we move into the fall and Estes Park begins to slow down from the summer influx of visitors, we still always recommend reservations.  Please give us a call at 970-586-5397 or visit our website to make an online reservation.

Take care,

Friday's soups and muffins!

Good Morning! 

Another beautiful day here at the Baldpate Inn watching the trees gently sway in the wind.  If that wind gives you a chill come by for a hot bowl of homemade soup before venturing back out!  Today our soups are the Cowboy Buffalo Stew, and the Tomato Rice (one of my favorites)!  Accompanying these soups are our homemade muffins.  Today we have the Tropical Paradise and Three Cheese muffins. 

We hope to be able to share a great meal with you (paired with an excellent view), a tour of our famous key collection, or at least a friendly smile on your next visit to the Baldpate Inn!  Til then!

Warm August Day in Estes Park

Good Morning Everyone!

After a gorgeous day in Estes Park yesterday, the blue skies and warm weather look to continue into today.  With a high in the mid 80's, the summer weather seems to be sticking around for a few more days.  For our guests in the flatlands, take a break from the afternoon heat and enjoy a piece of our daily-baked pies.  For our visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park, stop by our historic inn for lunch or dinner today and enjoy some of the finest views of any restaurant in Colorado.

Soups of the Day: Red Chili and Cream of Mushroom

Muffins of the Day: Lemon Ginger and Apple Spice

Thank you to everyone who attended our Summer Enchanted Evening program last night.  A special thanks goes to Rich Bray, our speaker, who gave a wonderful talk about butterflies.  We would also like to announce that the Summer Enchanted Evening program will continue to run throughout the month of September.  Please check our website and here, on our blog, for an updated list of exciting and intriguing topics!

Summer Enchanted Evening on Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Anyone with an interest in Rocky Mountain National Park, butterflies, or early science and scientific expeditions will enjoy this evening‘s program at the Baldpate Inn, part of the Baldpate‘s continuing “Summer Enchanted Evenings” lecture series. Rich Bray, coordinator of the Rocky Mountain National Park Butterfly Project, will explore ties between butterflies found in RMNP, the individuals responsible for their initial discovery, classification, or life history elucidation, and the ground-breaking works these men and women published and illustrated, often at great expense. Included in the 45-minute slide presentation will be profiles of the young, self-taught naturalist who accompanied Major Stephen Long to Colorado in 1820, an early Amazon River explorer who bankrupted himself pursuing a passion for butterflies, and one unsavory collector who pilfered other people’s prized specimens in his top hat. The program, which begins at 7:00 p.m., is free to the public. Call the Baldpate at 586-5397 for further information or directions.

A Royal Visit in Estes Park

Well Hey Y'all!

Our fun fact seminar series, Summer Enchanted Evenings, returns TOMORROW night, at 7:00pm, with an intriguing new topic. In 1954, a KING came to visit Estes Park. WHO was he? WHAT was he doing here? WHERE did he stay? WHY did he come? Join us as we explore this fascinating mystery. It is sure to be a truly grand time of learning fun facts about Estes Park, as well as enjoying the comfortable ambiance that is The Baldpate Inn.

The theatrical production of Seven Keys to Baldpate will make its final run for the season THIS coming weekend. Be sure to reserve your tickets and a dinner reservation at (866) 577-KEYS! Tickets are $15, or $12 with the purchase of a meal. Please do not miss out on this opportunity for quality entertainment and delicious food.

The sky today is true blue without a spot of cloud to be seen. What a great opportunity to enjoy our delicious Potato Leek soup and Beef Stew. Today's muffins include Zucchini Nut and Peanut Butter, GREAT food for a GORGEOUS day! Alongside our fully stocked, dream-come-true salad bar, lies the Buttermilk Bran muffins, ready to be enjoyed.

I warned you this day would come. Today is actually my last day to sport the green polo and khaki pants. I have enjoyed every minute I have had the chance to be in Estes Park and a part of the Baldpate staff. I am now heading back to Oklahoma for my senior year as a Hospitality Management student. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I venture out into the industry. I plan to come back to Estes Park at point. As Lois says, "Around here, we don't say good bye. We say, 'See ya later!'"

I'll be seein' ya!

OH! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING!

Well Howdy to Ya!

As I went to get the paper this mornin', I had to stop and marvel at the view. The Baldpate Inn has one of the best vantage points of gorgeous scenery I, personally, have ever seen.

The clouds scattered themselves across a true blue sky, framing Longspeak with frothy elegance. What would be a better location to enjoy soups, salad, and homemade, delicious pies?

Our namesake play will return this weekend with three fantastic performances! Seven Keys to Baldpate will start its entertaining Friday, August 6, at 6:30pm! Saturday is loaded with 2 Key performances, the first at 1:30pm, perfectly fit for following an 11:30pm lunch, and an evening performance at 6:30pm, nestled nicely between two great times for dinner. Tickets are $15 and $12 with the purchase of a meal. Be sure to come and enjoy all that The Baldpate has to offer! Please call for play and dinner reservations at (866) 577-KEYS.
