Stanley was an inventor and a visionary for his time. After coming to Colorado ​ because of health reasons, he not only established and built the iconic Stanley Hotel, but was responsible for the development of the site of Estes Park as well through his involvement in the development of the road systems, financing the water system, and launching a major advertising campaign to bring tourists to the city via motor coaches which traveled through the canyon from Estes Park. Known as a resort hotel, the Stanley was a “draw” to tourists from across the nation who were looking for a comfortable and luxurious way to travel in the Colorado Rockies at the turn of the century. The hotel has been a host to contemporary travelers and moviemakers and is known today as the setting for the movie based on Stephen King's novel The Shining.

  • The Stanley Hotel History
    The Stanley Hotel History: The property of the Stanley hotel was a favorite of Mr. Windham Thomas Whydham‐Quin the fourth Earl of Dunraven. He would come to the area for his summer hunting. “Lord Dunraven” wanted to put a Hunting lodge and game preserve. Wyndham Thomas Quinn the 4th Earl of Dunraven Dunraven hired some local Agents and purchased 15,000 acres from the U.S. Government. Soon after the purchase there were claims filed by twenty‐one different parties including Mr. R.Q. McGregor. They all claimed that Dunraven had no right to the land because he was not a U.S. citizen. Mr. Dunraven lost the property due to the claims of Mr. McGregor. F.O. Stanley A local who wanted to purchase the land for himself had hired R.Q. McGregor. This was Mr. Freelan Oscar Stanley. Freelan Oscar (F.O.) Stanley was born in 1849; he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1903 and was told to move to Colorado because the “fresh mountain air” would help his condition. Mr. Stanley and his wife moved to a home located at 1401 Gilpin St in Denver. After a month in Denver, he was showing no signs of change. Arrangements were made for him to visit a friend’s cabin in Estes Park. Mr. & Mrs. Stanley fell in love with the area and in 1904 purchased 8.4 acres of their own. F.O. Stanley’s sister Flora Jane Record Tileston, who would become Mrs. Stanley (1848‐1949) was an active member of the community, she was known for dressing up as a Gypsy and doing fortune telling at fundraisers for the Estes Park Women’s Club They purchased the property with the assistance of Mr.

  • Rocky Mountain
    Rocky Mountain Administrative History CHAPTER XII: INHOLDINGS, CONCESSIONS AND BOUNDARY EXTENSIONS When created in 1915, Rocky Mountain National Park contained within its 229,062 acres of land over 11,000 acres of private inholdings. These inholdings consisted primarily of patented lands, based on Homestead, Timber and Stone, and Pre-emption entries, and of a number of irrigation ditches, reservoirs and mineral claims in the name of private parties and corporations. [1] On the west side of the Continental Divide, the private land holdings extended from Lulu City to Grand Lake. On the east side they were located principally in Moraine Park, Hallowell Park, and Beaver Meadows. Most of the land suitable for human use, including every meadow, was privately owned. Then as a result of subsequent boundary extensions, an additional 2,000 acres of private land became incorporated within the Park. Yet by 1965, the total amount of inholdings had been reduced through government purchases and exchanges to 2,300 acres. [2] What follows is the story of the land purchases, the boundary extensions and adjustments, and the people affected by these actions during the Park's first 50 years. A subordinate part of the story concerns changes in Park concession policies and some road building activities made possible or necessary by land and visitor developments. Initially, the Park administration granted permits for continued operation of the six hotels, lodges and camps that had operated on federal land when the Park lands had been part of the Colorado National Forest. [3] At the same time, there were nine other hotels within the Park's boundaries, all located on private property and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.

National Park Service Rocky U.S. Department of the Interior Mountain The official newspaper National of Rocky Mountain National Park Park Park News Spring 2015 March 22, 2015 - June 13, 2015 Enjoy Your Visit By Katy Sykes, Information Office Manager What pictures in your mind does the word "springtime" conjure up? Fields of flowers, baby animals, twittering birds? How about white mountains and snowfalls measured in feet? Springtime in Rocky Mountain National Park is all of these and more. Actually, springtime in Rocky can feel like any season of the year: sunny, snowy, rainy, windy, warm, and cold. Spring days can be gorgeous with crystal blue skies and bright sunshine that pours down over the mountains. But traditionally, some of the park’s biggest snowfalls occur in March and April. Snow into early June up on the mountaintops is not uncommon. Trail Ridge Road is scheduled to open for the season on May 22 this year, but its opening is always weather-dependent and it stays open as long as weather and road conditions permit. Spring snows are usually quite wet, which is great for forest fire prevention but not always great for activities like snowshoeing, Dream Lake in springtime NPS/John Marino backcountry skiing, and early season hiking.
