The air is crisp and looks like it will be a beautiful day. Why don’t you make a good day even better by spending some time with us here at the Baldpate Inn. Our soups today are Red Chili and Potato Leek. That is served with some Oatmeal Blues and Green Onion Cream Cheese muffins. You cannot forget about the Cornbread either.

Today will be a fun day here at the Baldpate Inn. The entire staff is dressed up in their college gear. You too could come in with your college gear, quiz a staff about their college, or tell one of the staff an old war story from your college days. Tomorrow will even be more fun. On Sunday, the Baldpate Inn will be hosting a yo-yo competition. Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun. Challenge a staff member and see if you are a better yo-yo-er.

Yesterday was tough for all of us as we said see you later to Kayla. It was a great summer and thanks for all your help this summer. You will be missed and we will see you later.

Have a fun and safe day.

Hey There Folks!

Last night we had the opening night of our first of two plays, Love Letters, and it went off without a hitch!  And tonight we have the opening performance of our second play, Southern Comforts.  Since our theatre is outdoors and the weather is a bit cooler today, make sure to bring a light jacket.  We're also keeping a close eye on the weather and will make a decision later this afternoon on the off chance that we get too much rain to perform. 

Also, make sure you come by early to grab some dinner and drinks before the play. Today we're serving up our world-famous Buffalo Stew and Potato Leek Soup, as well as our Zucchini Nut and Cream Cheese Green Onion Muffins.

Good Morning Folks!

Today for our soups today we are making some Garden Vegetable and White Chili for your enjoyment. If that is not enough we have Banana Butterscotch and Green Onion Crème Cheese Muffins for you guys to enjoy. Of course we have our world-famous Cornbread as well.


A special thanks to Bob Brunson for giving an awesome presentation about World War II aircraft yesterday evening. We had a great crowd show up to listen to it as well.  Next week we will not be having Summer Enchanted because it will be July 4.

Again our thoughts and prayers go out to the many fire victims and hopefully we all can get some more rain.


Have a great and safe day.

Howdy!

Firstly, many thanks to the Firefighters of Colorado for saving lives and homes across the state.  And our thoughts and prayers go out to the over 32,000 evacuated from Colorado Springs since yesterday.

Today we're serving our Beef Stew as well as my personal favorite, Pumpkin Curry (don't forget to top it off with a spoonful of whipped cream!).  To go along with your soup we've got some awesome Apple Raisin Spice as well as Mandarin Orange Muffins.

Today is Wednesday, which only means one thing..... It's another Summer Enchanted Evening!  Tonight we've got Bob Brunson coming in to talk about the aircraft of World War II, so I know you'll want to be here if you're a history buff like I am.  Mr Brunson will start his presentation at 7pm, so come early to get a good seat and enjoy some tasty snacks from our expert cooks.

Hey There Ya'll!

Is your day getting a little hot and hectic?  Then come on up to the Baldpate to beat the summer heat and relax with the best view in town!  Today we're serving Corn Chowder and Red Chili, along with Bran Muffins and my favorite, our Feta Muffins. You better come and get some before I eat them all!

As I'm sure most of you know, one of the most special parts of the Baldpate is the plethora of Hummingbirds that live around our Inn.  I had always been curious about what particular kind they are, and luckily, yesterday we had a pair of bird enthusiasts dine with us.  They informed me that they saw both Ruby-Throated and Rufous Hummingbirds (Fun fact of the day for you!).  So keep an eye out the next time you're at the Baldpate and see if you can spot the difference!

First lots of prayers and thoughts go out to the many people of Estes Park that were affected by the fire. Special thanks to those men and women who reacted quickly to fight the fire.  We here at the Baldpate Inn are thinking of you guys and hopefully we all have a better day and stay safe today.

Today on the menu is some delicious Tomato Rice and Cowboy Buffalo soups. The muffins today will be Zucchini Nut and Onion Garlic with our world-famous Cornbread. We hope that all of you come and visit throughout the day and share your day with us.

It’s going to be another great day over here at the Baldpate Inn. Part of the reason why it will be such a great day is that our soups today are Beef Stew and Pumpkin Curry. Another part is the muffins are Buttermilk Bran and Lemon Blueberry and we will also be having our Cornbread all day.



If you would check out Estes Parks Newspaper today, you would find an article about the plays that are being shown at the Baldpate Inn this summer. We are all very excited about it and are looking forward to both of the plays that will be featured here.



Have a safe and wonderful day.

Hey Ya'll!

We may be in the middle of the mountains, but Summer in the Keys has us feeling like we're in the tropics.  So put on your best Hawaiian shirt and don't forget the sunscreen, because once you taste our taste our Key Lime or Coconut Cream Pie you'll think you're relaxing on the beach in the Keys! 

But you can't have dessert without having lunch or dinner first, so make sure you go through our Soup and Salad buffet to get a big bowl of Red Chili or Broccoli Cheddar Soup. We can't wait to see you today!

If you are already friends of the Baldpate, next time you visit, you may notice we have done some rearranging in the Key Room.

Speaking of Summer Enchanted Evenings, Wednesday, June 13, 2012 the Baldpate will welcome John Meissner of the Estes Park Archives, as the first speaker in our summer lecture series. He will present a talk on the history of the area surrounding the Baldpate. Mr. Meissner does a wonderful job reviving the past and inspiring audiences. You do not want to miss this opportunity to hear him speak.

Hello everyone,



Hopefully everyone’s Tuesday is going amazing but you know what would make things even better, a bowl of nice hot Beef Stew or Corn Chowder. Well you’re in luck because that is exactly what we have today over at the Baldpate Inn. To go along with these two delicious soups are Golden Sunshine and Trail Mix muffins. But wait you are thinking to yourself, isn’t there something else. You would be right. Our cooks are busy preparing our world-famous cornbread just for you guys.



Don’t forget, our Summer Enchanted Evenings kicks off this Wednesday on June 13! Our first speaker is John Meisner, with the Estes Park Archives. Come and learn about Estes and the enchantment of the Baldpate Wednesday night at 7:00.This is a free event and we hope to see you all here.

Today the cooks are preparing some yummy Cowboy Buffalo and some delicious Broccoli and Cheese soups. Along with these soups, we have our muffins which are Pumpkin and Onion Garlic, both of which sounds delicious. You guys cannot forget our cornbread either.

Yesterday John Meissner, from the Estes Park Archives, came and visited the staff to tell us more about the history of the Baldpate Inn. We are now ready for any question you might throw our way about the history of the Baldpate Inn. Also you might have seen some of us down in Estes Park in our uniforms, running from place to place and taking pictures. The staff is participating in a scavenger hunt around town and it will be going on around town. It seems like a close race between the teams but I’m hoping my team can pull out the win.
As always have a wonderful day and come for a visit here at the Baldpate Inn.

Now it’s my turn to tell you all a little bit about myself. My name is Kayla and I’m from a small town in New Jersey. I go to the University of New Haven in Connecticut where I study Hotel and Tourism Management. I’m going into my senior year and hope to move back to Colorado after I graduate! When it comes to sports I like to root for the underdog and I was raised a Buffalo Bills fan. Hopefully this will be our season! I have been welcomed into the Baldpate family and I am so excited to be spending my summer here! I look forward to learning more about all of you and hearing your stories!

Today we have our famous Potato Leek soup and, my personal favorite, Cowboy Buffalo. Our magically savory muffins feature our Triple Cheese and our Golden Sunshine muffins and of course our cornbread.

Following Dan’s lead, let me tell you all about myself. I’m Tate. I currently live in the Twin Cities, Minnesota but attend college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Even though I live in Minnesota, I love all of Wisconsin’s sport teams especially the Packers, Badgers, and Brewers. I only have one semester left at college and I am already looking forward to being done. I will be graduating with a business degree in management and a marketing. The Baldpate Inn is a great place to work and has become my home away from home. I look forward to meeting all of you over the course of the next couple months.

Today we've got our tasty Red Chili and my personal favorite (so far!), Pumpkin Curry.  For muffins we have a Buttermilk Ranch and a Feta muffin, as well as our signature Cornbread.  Since the gang at the front desk is all here, we'll take the next few days to tell you a bit about ourselves. 

I'm Dan, originally from Tampa, Florida, but I'm going to school at Florida State University, so you know I'm a big college football fan!  After this summer at the Baldpate, I'll be going into my senior year studying Hospitality Administration, which I plan on using to get into the hotel industry.  Being the only Florida boy on staff, spending the summer in the mountains is a huge change of pace, I even saw snow fall for the first time on my first day in Estes Park!  I've only been here for two weeks, but the Baldpate already feels like home and I can't wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store.
