Summary |
"Welcome to the History of the Lodges of Estes Park and the Irrepressible Women of Estes Park and Their Lodging Establishments. Historically, women influenced and operated lodges in Estes Park. You will have an opportunity to meet some of these irrepressible women after you arrive in the Estes valley with the first settlers. It did not take long for settlers to start inviting others to enjoy the beauty of the high mountain valley. Hosting guests was an attractive alternative to cattle ranching and farming. Mountains, trees, wildlife and recreaction have provided an attraction to visitors that has spanned the years. Early visitors experienced a bit more rustic accomodations than today's explorers; it also took a bit more time and effort to travel up the canyons to their destination ... The authors researched both private and public collections and interviewed descendents to provide this visit to the lodges of Estes Park."--Back cover. |
