Morning All!

You know you are growing up when you sleep at 8:30 P.M. on a Friday night! But I feel great and awake this morning! This is my last morning shift at the Baldpate so unfortunately this is my last blog! My how time flies! I'm really going to miss this place! Join us today for lunch and experience and see what I love about the Baldpate Inn.

Today we are having Corn Chowder and Red Chili to warm your body from the Estes Park chill. Our muffins are freshly baking in the oven as we have Pumpkin muffins and Triple Cheese muffins. Try our famous Cornbread and you will be coming back for more! Save room for pie because we have the best pies! We have such a variety of pies you won't know which one to choose! I would recommend my favorite the Pecan! (So good!!!)

It's been such a fun summer I know this one is one for the books! This has been such a learning experience that has taught me so much. I think I learned more about the hospitality industry at the Baldpate than I've learned in the 3 years I did in my hotel and restaurant classes! The Baldpate Inn will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you to all who have made my great summer memorable!

See what all the talk is about and join us for lunch today at the Baldpate. We would love to serve you.

Good morning everyone.  I hope you are doing well and are excited for the day.  I know I'm excited for today.  Mostly because of the fact that Lois is making my absolute favorite soup for the first time this season: French Onion Soup.  It's going to be so good I can hardly wait.  Along with the French Onion, we are also having Red Chili and our Oatmeal Blueberry and Little Italy Muffins.  Is it sad when food gets you this excited?  I don't think so either.

And get ready.  Tomorrow night is the last Summer Enchanted Evening of the season.  For this event, Sharon Danhauer will be presenting a slide show about Mariano Medina, the first settler of the Big Thompson Valley.  And for this extremely interesting show, you will be able to view it on our brand new, bigger and better projection screen!  This is one event that's safe for the whole family and you won't want to miss it.

Have a great day and I hope to see you soon.

Good Morning!

Well, if I thought I was getting used to mountain living I woke up for a rude awakening. My fire building has been improving throughout the summer however, this morning not only did I manage to smoke out the lobby, I set the fire alarm off. My confidence in fire building has gone right into flames, along with my pride. But I assure you now the lobby is clear and the fire is toasty and comforting. I promise I won't even touch the fireplace today!

The weather is cooling down, so warm up with our homemade soups! Today we are serving Cowboy Buffalo Stew and Potato Leek to warm you up! Our muffins today include Zucchini Nut muffins and Triple Cheese muffins as well. Our full salad bar has a great selection of fresh vegetables and salad toppings.
