Happy Labor Day!

Good Morning and Happy Labor Day!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their Labor Day weekend. Aside from a few quick showers, the weather in Estes Park has certainly proved to be beautiful this weekend. Today looks to be the same with highs in the mid-70’s and plenty of sunshine. If you’re in spending your Labor Day in Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park, feel free to stop by for a visit to our key museum or a meal in our dining room.

Soups of the Day: White Chili and Corn Chowder

Muffins of the Day: All Bran and Blueberry

Reservations are highly recommended and can be made over the phone or online. Our phone number is 970-586-KEYS (5397) or you can follow this link for online reservations - http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp.

Take care,

Soups & Muffins

Good Morning!

A crisp breeze is making it a bit chilly up here at The Baldpate Inn this lovely Sunday morning as the sun tries to peek through the cloud cover hovering over the valley. Only a few hummingbirds remain dancing amongst their surroundings so be sure head on up to catch one of your last chances to see these fast-paced birds before they migrate for the winter to a warmer climate.

Our fine chefs are preparing for your arrival! They are making Cowboy Buffalo Stew with its "wild west trail drive" flavors (come in to found out why the word cowboy has a special double meaning in relation to this tasty soup) and Potato Leek (one of my favorites) to warm your soul. Pair either of our delicious soups with our mouth-watering Baldpate Corn Bread or our homemade Honey Wheat Bread (you can make both of these breads at home as they are found in our 2008 Legacy Edition Collections cookbook). This happens to be the 17th year our Peanut Butter Muffins have been tantalizing our guests' tastebuds and a big thanks to Jenn for insisting the Zucchini Nut Muffins had to be added to the menu as they are a staff and guest favorite alike. Did you know September is Apple Month? There would be no better way to celebrate then with a delicious slice of our scrumptious Scandinavian Apple pie!

The chefs are keeping the soups for tomorrow's menu a secret for the time being.

Join us today for any of our wonderful buffet items! Thinking about taking a hike? Ask any of us where to go-I went on a wonderful hike on my day off last week! To make reservations either call us at 970-586-6151 or toll-free 866-577-5397 or reserve a spot online http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp -we'd love to see you today!

Have a wonderful day!

Already September

Good Morning!

Anyone else find it hard to believe that we’re already into the month of September? It seems like just a few weeks ago that we opened for the season and we’re already quickly approaching our closing on October 18th. With September comes one of the largest events in Estes Park – the Scottish-Irish Highland Festival. This event kicks off next Thursday and will fill the Estes Valley with the beautiful sounds of bagpipe groups from around the world. If you plan on being in town for the event, we’d love to have you stop by for some lunch or dinner. We look to be quite busy that weekend, so make your reservations as soon as possible.

Reservations can be made online (http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp) or by calling us at 970-586-5497.

Soups of the Day: Beef Stew and Tomato Rice

Muffins of the Day: Oatmeal Blues and Green Onion Cream Cheese

Take care,

Unique Views of the Mountains

Good morning!

It looks as though even Colorado is feeling the effects of the wildfires in California. A haze was cast over the Estes Valley yesterday and continues to remain today. This is due to the amount of smoke being created by the wildfires. While the smell of smoke is extremely faint, it certainly has created a unique view of the mountains in the distance.

Come join us for lunch or dinner today and see for yourself this unique view of the mountains that the smoky haze has created. I can certainly say I haven’t seen anything like it so far this summer. Reservations are always recommended and can be made by phone (970-586-5397) or on our website by following this link http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp.

Soups of the day: Red Chili and Broccoli Cheese

Muffins of the day: Lemon Ginger and Cranberry Nut

The rumor working its way through the kitchen is that we’ll be having Beef Stew and Tomato Rice tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy this beautiful Wednesday and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Take care,

First Day Of September!

Good Morning!

It's shaping up to be a beautiful first day of September this morning here at The Baldpate Inn! A cool-crisp breeze gently touches everything as it passes while the sun's golden rays promise to melt away the fine fog that surrounded us earlier today. Don't miss out on your chance to see the hummingbirds as they are starting to migrate for the winter months.

Cowboy Buffalo Stew (worry not we use bison meat-not cowboys) along with Potato Leek (one of my favorites) happen to be the enticing soups our lovely chefs are back in the kitchen preparing! Our mouth-watering Baldpate Corn Bread as well as our homemade Honey Wheat Bread are being served too. Remember to try the muffins found right beside our other breads-today we are having Jenn's Nutty Zucchini Muffins and savory Triple Cheese Muffins! Our speciality salads are not to be missed and neither are the homemade pies! Remember you can always take a slice of pie with you....if you happen to be too full.

Visit Rocky Mountain National Park, walk around Lily Lake or stroll around town before or after joining us here anytime between 11:30am and 8:00pm today! I would always recommend a reservation: call us at 970-568-6151 or toll-free 866-577-5397. You can also make one online through OpenTable by going to our website http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp -we look forward to your arrival!

The chefs revealed the rumored soups for tomorrow: Red Chili and Broccoli Cheese.

While you're here make sure to check out the World's Largest Key Collection! You too can donate a key-stop by the front desk to learn more.

It takes a steady hand to draw the colours of the first morning. Take slow, deep breaths before you start coloring your day.

Have a wonderful first day of September!
