hello youtube my name is marcelo and
this is for seasons adventures
it's six o'clock in the morning i'm in
estes park
and i'm waiting for sunrise to show you
the town
it's also 40 degrees
i wait in the car
is this park is a town located at about
one hour and a half northwest of denver
it is known as the gateway to the rocky
mountains national park
it sits at about 7 500 feet of elevation
[Music]
and the beauty of nature is present
everywhere
[Music]
elks wandered through town without
paying attention to humans
well not this one
there is a reason why esther spark is
called the gateway to rocky mountain
national park
and the reason is right behind me the
stanley hotel
[Music]
f.o stanley inventor of the stanley
steam engine
came to westers park in 1903
to recover from tuberculosis
only six years later the stanley hotel
was open for business it was one of the
best hotels
west of the mississippi river it had
running water electricity and telephones
but it didn't have heating so it was a
summer destination only
[Music]
many important people have a stay in
this hotel
among them president roosevelt
but probably the one who made the most
impact
it was the american writer stephen king
in 1974 stephen king
stayed at room 217 of this hotel
that room it was reported to be haunted
by ghost
and after that night mr king
wrote the shining
and in 1980 a movie based on the novel
with jack nicholson it was a complete
success
[Music]
even if you don't stay in the hotel make
sure you pass by the cafeteria
there are so many good pies that you
don't know what to choose
when you walk into the hotel it seems
like
you go back in time
[Music]
and all the furniture is well preserved
[Music]
wait a minute go back
[Music]
is that a ghost
we better go outside to get some fresh
air
it is early in the morning so the
streets are pretty much empty
but if you come later on the day or even
on the weekends
this is full of people
indian village huh
that's really cool
souvenirs
lots of tourists
[Music]
when you walk around town you will
notice that history
is well preserved
what is in the booth
[Music]
nothing
[Music]
oh burgers ah
marcelo you just have breakfast
[Music]
i wonder what is the thing with this
town and the sweets
candies ice cream fudge
you name it
too much sugar
but if you prefer something more
stronger
you will have your options
do you want to go to the movies
this place is 107 years old
the oldest operating cinema in
western united states
[Music]
as i said before here
wildlife is well protected and
they are not afraid of humans
[Music]
in fact they are the main attraction in
town
and also the cause of traffic jams
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
there are other ways to experience the
town
since you are in the west horseback
riding
is a good option
i don't have anything to eat
if you have time to spare there are many
accommodations around here
[Music]
and of course you can join this traffic
and go to the rocky mountain national
park
if you're looking to make an investment
in the area
this historic lodge is up for sale
hopefully somebody will buy it to
preserve it
not to destroy it
[Music]
estes park is a small town and you
definitely can see it in one day
but it's better to have time and wander
around
to discover its beauty
[Music]
so
but today is a windy day esther's park
is not only the gateway to rocky
mountain national park
but also has a lot of good places like
this one
very nice one to explore unfortunately
today is a little cold
and a little windy so i'm gonna call it
