Just Another Sunday

That time of the week has come once again, Sunday! The unfortunate end to a weekend and the exciting beginning of a new week.

However, the end to a fabulous weekend calls for some great food and fresh air. Stop by The Baldpate Inn for some of our Cowboy Buffalo Stew and Cream of Mushroom soups, as well as our Lemon Ginger and Green Onion Cream Cheese Muffins. While you're here enjoy our homemade pies.

Looking for something to do this week? Stop by The Baldpate Inn for our Summer Enchanted Evening on Wednesday at 7pm. This week Hunter Nelson will be giving a brief lecture on the Wild Wild West. This event is free to the public and occurs every week so, mark your calendars.

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!

All the best,

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.
