[Leica] IMGs: The Stanley Hotel, birthplace of Stephen King's 'The Shining'

[Susan Ryan]

Jim, the hotel is in Estes Park,  3 miles from the east entrance. I was disappointed we did not travel the winding road shown in the opening seconds from the movie. That is actually Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The really on the outskirts of town. Not isolated at all, although the main road through the park was still closed because of winter snow.
