Time to "SEE" What is Happening at the Baldpate Inn

Good morning folks!

Its another Wednesday at the Baldpate Inn, and that means we will be having another Summer Enchanted Evening presentation tonight. This one is a bit more close to home for the staff, as the presenter tonight is one of our very own museum curators: Zoe Wildasin. Zoe is originally from Hanover, Pennsylvania but majors in Public Relations and Advertising with a minor in Theatre Studies at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. Tonight, she will be giving a presentation on the National Park Service. Her presentation will include a wide range of topics from local hero Enos Mills to important milestones made by the NPS.

We hope you will join us this evening in our Key Museum at 7pm as Zoe teaches us all she knows about the National Park Service.

Since you are considering being here at 7pm for Zoe's presentation, why not show up a little earlier for dinner (or even lunch)? Today we will be serving out White Chili and Tomato Rice soups along with our Raspberry and Triple Cheese muffins. These soups with our sweet and savory muffins, will make you run up to our Soup and Salad buffet for seconds! Don't forget to save room for pie, though and remember you can always get it to go!

As always, we do recommend calling ahead to make reservations for lunch or dinner.

Please give us a call at: (970)-586-5397. We look forward to "SEE"ing you here!

Breath Taking Views

View from the top of Estes Cone

The sites and views you can see from the Rocky Mountain National Park are breath taking. Why not come up to Estes for the day and check them out yourself.

While you are here enjoy some of our Red Chili and Garden Vegetable soups as well as our Poppy Seed and Trail Mix muffins. To top it all off enjoy some of our homemade pie. Afterwards, or before, enjoy one of the hikes nearby. For an easier hike check out Lily Lake or if you want a longer hike do Twin Sisters or Estes Cone. No matter which one you do you won't be disappointed by the views. 

If you are still looking for something to do this evening enjoy "The Seven Keys to Baldpate" performance and learn about the story that started it all. Today our performance is at 7pm and tomorrow the performance will be at 3pm. This is your last weekend to catch the performance and learn the story behind the inn.
