Bed & Breakfast in Estes Park, Colorado

The mountains are amazing as you drive into Estes Park on hwy 36. That's Estes Park in the valley. Just above the valley you are looking at Lumpy Ridge and the Black Canyon. THAT is right behind our bed and breakfast. One mile to the trail head--no entry fee area to the park. No worries there are lots of ways to donate funds if you are compelled, but this is a quit area especially when dollars count.

Parade, color and laughs, are the first three words that come to mind when I think about the Scottish Irish Festival parade and activities Coming on September 10,11, 12, and 13th.

It was fun hearing about our guests time at the tattoo celebration. Gilded Pine Meadows B&B books up each year with fun festive minded people, dressed for a good time. GREAT period clothes.

Bagpipe music takes my breath away every time. The Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival is September 10, 11, 12th and 13th this year.

Dog friendly parade

Celts and festive dress are beautiful. This man is my idea of an authentic display of the times.

Great costumes, fun people lots to do and see!

It started Thursday night...snowed all day Friday and by this morning the snow reached upwards of 3 feeton our hill. It's still snowing...I was planning to drive to Denver today--but that's off the books now.

Eric and Maggie clearing off the steps.

Maggie has always gotten a kick out of Eric shoveling snow.

For the last two years I've been growing pansies indoors for the month of April and May, planting them outdoors in early June. They are clean and easy to keep up.

This is Lucy bringing Mike and his friend Mike up the driveway on cross country skies.

Lucy brought her two people Mike and Mike to eat snow and sniff around. When Lucys not walking Mike #2, she's got Mike working at he YMCA of The Rockies. The other Mike works for the C.I.A. They came by to cut through the yard during their snow treck.

Introductions are in order... this is Lacy and Casie our resident mountain cotton tail rabbits. Their rabbit hole is next to the driveway AT THIS CURVE. Yikes, for them! They sometimes nap, lounge, and graze here in the MIDDLE of the driveway.

I told you...her's lacy a few minutes later bathing in the sun. She really can't help herself.

Lacy and Casie grazing in their driveway garden. Please drive in with care--especially on Easter day--it just seems like the right thing to do.

Cow elk and their calf feeding on the grass and trees. They are beautiful creatures about the size of a pony--the bull are much larger.
