The Story of Estes Park (Classic Reprint)

Within the district treated we will scarcely be able to find a region so favorably distinguished as that presented by Estes Park. Not only has nature amply supplied this valley with features of rare beauty and surroundings of admirable grandeur, but it has thus distributed them that the eye of an artist may rest with perfect satisfaction on the complete picture presented. Dr. F. V. Hayden, father of the Yellowstone National Park, in U. S. Geological Survey of Colorado, 1875. Never, nowhere, have I seen anything equal to the view in Estes Park, writes I sabella L. Bird A Lady s Life in the Rocky Mountains 1879. In an admirable description of the Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, region, Mr. Robert B. Marshall, Chief Geographer of the United States Geological Survey, says: The region as a whole is as beautiful as any to be found in the United States, or, indeed, in the world. Says F. H. Chapin in Mountaineering in Colorado, I would not fail to impress on the mind of the tourist that the scenes are too grand for words to convey a true idea of their magnificence. Let him, then, not fail to visit them.
