Rocky Mountain

THE STANLEY HOTEL AND MANOR

EASY TO REACH AND TO SEE

THE accessibility of the Rocky Mountain National Park is apparent by a glance at any map. Denver is less than thirty hours from St. Louis and Chicago, two days only from New York. Four hours from Denver will put you in Estes Park.

Once there, comfortable in one of its many hotels of varying range of tariff, and the summits and the gorges of this mountain-top paradise resolve themselves into a choice between foot and horseback.

There are also a few most comfortable houses and several somewhat primitive camps within the park's boundaries at the very foot of its noblest scenery.
