2.0 out of 5 stars Rocky Mountain Tour - A Misnomer, July 4, 2008

By	Tim Zink (US) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book thinking it was an up-to-date tour book of a region I wanted to visit. The work 'tour' is a real deception. 'Take a virtual tour of scenic Rocky Mountain National Park, and the resorts at Estes Park and Grand Lake, Colorado'
The actual book is no more than someone's slapped together collection of vintage postcards of the region.
LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR HELP ARRANGING ANY UPCOMING ROCKY MT ROAD TRIP.

5.0 out of 5 stars FASCINATING BOOK!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!, June 8, 2009

By	www.hauntedcolorado.net "Pisces" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a beautiful book with really neat photos of postcards and prints. Anyone who looks at the front cover, or who opens up the book can see that there is a lot of history and old photos (the postcards) of many, many historical locations in the Estes Park/RMNP area. Absolutely fascinating book-- I could not put it down.

128 pages. A virtual tour of the region, featuring more than 300 vintage postcards and prints

Note "Illustrated with 300 historical postcards, photographs & ephemera"--T.p.

~~~~ Summary Vintage postcards, photographs, tourist brochures, etc., illustrate the scenic Circle Tour over Rocky Mountain National Parks Trail Ridge Road, through the Big Thompson canyon, the towns and rustic lodges along the way.

I HIGHLY recommend this book!!!
If you are into Colorado history, and would like to familiarize yourself with the history of Estes Park and surrounds, then you will LOVE this book! In this book you will see many historic lodges and old buildings... many that were built over 100 + years ago (Including the historic Stanley Hotel.)
