Good Morning From the Baldpate Inn!
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. We had a great time up here at The Baldpate watching the fireworks show over Lake Estes. Today we will be serving our Beef Stew and Pumpkin Curry soups. Our muffins of the day are Zucchini Nut and Gina’s Trail Mix. Don’t forget to save some room for homemade pie!
We hope you will join us for Lunch or Dinner. For reservations call 970-586-5397 or visit our website at http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp and reserve a table online.

Good Morning Estes,
Cory Meza here and may I us at The Baldpate Inn be the first to wish you a happy, and safe, 4th of July! It’s going to be a modest day in Estes Park today, only topping out in the mid 60s, there is a chance of rain today but let’s keep our fingers crossed that the fire works tonight won’t get rained out. Right now it’s a lovely day for hiking and I suggest getting an early start on the Flattop Mountain Trail, its located at Bear Lake trail head, and is about 4.4miles to the top of the mountain, the snow has cleared above tree line so you can make it to the summit.
If you get rained out or are done hiking for the day, come on by The Baldpate Inn, we’re serving up some delicious soups today and would love for to come and join us. We’re located right by Lily Lake between mile markers 6 and 7. With the seasons going into full swing, we suggest that you called ahead and make reservations, 970-586-6151, or go through our online site and make a reservation directly using our dining page, http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp.
And now for the part you’ve been waiting for, the menu for today:
Soups: Red Chili- our hearty mix of beef, tomatoes and spice washes down perfectly with a
Snowy Peaks Merlot or a 1554 Black Ale.
Broccoli Cheese- Fresh Broccoli in a creamy cheese sauce that pairs excellently with a
Snow Peaks Riesling
Muffins: Lemon Blueberry- the best muffins ever, enough said
Cranberry Nut- a sweet blend of pecans and cranberries
Now the kitchen is busy working and I was only able to steal one soup of tomorrow from them, and its our delicious Beef Stew.
Stop by today to wish Laura a very Happy Birthday!
From all of us at The Baldpate Inn we wish you a festive 4th of July ,

Good Morning Baldpaters!
It is a fantastically festive Friday here at the Baldpate as we begin to prepare for the 4th of July. We have out several of our red white and blue decorations on our porch and in our dining room and we can't wait to watch the fireworks from the valley tomorrow night!
Today's soups include the always good, always popular Cowboy Buffalo Stew, as well as one of my new favorites, Cream of Mushroom. Our muffins for the day include the tangy Zucchini Dill and the sweet and yummy Poppy Seed. Mmm Mmm...With all this good food I'm not sure if I'll have room for a piece of our delicious pie....then again, I don't think I can pass up a piece of our famous Rhubarb.
Just to remind everyone, next Wednesday we will be having another of our Summer Enchanted Evening history talks at the Baldpate, but the topic is especially close to our hearts since it is about our very own keyroom! We will be having a guest speaker from the American History Savers Project come to speak about the keyroom and answer any questions one might have about the key museum. If you are like me, then you have a lot of questions regarding the start of the museum, the stories behind some of the keys, and how the keys are currently being catalogued. As always the series is free to the public and coffee, cookies, and punch will be served. Feel free to get a head start on your key trivia by having dinner with us beforehand and talking with one of you knowledgeable waiters. And while I can't tell you what soups we will be having next Wednesday, I did wrestle out of the cooks that we will be having Red Chili tomorrow.
I would also like to say Happy Birthday to one of our staff, Bri, who is turning a whopping twenty years old today!
As always, thanks for reading!

Good Morning All,
Well, it seems to be a week of beautiful mornings out here at the Baldpate and today is no exception. The sun is shining over Twin Sisters Mountain and the air smells as fresh and sweet as a fresh batch of homemade baked goods....or perhaps that is just the aroma wafting over from our kitchen where our chefs are cooking up Banana Butterscotch and Green Onion Cream Cheese Muffins today. MmmMmm! As nice as it is outside; however, don't discount a warm bowl of delicious soup. Nothing gets me more prepared for a good hike or a fun day in town like a bowl of our Garden Vegetable or Red Chili, which the cooks are preparing today.
The hummingbirds also seem to be in fine order this morning, but that could be due to the fact that they got so much attention last night for our Summer Enchanted Evenings Series that was all about...well, hummingbirds! Mr. Scott Rashid, hummingbird expert, entertained a group of twenty or more with his educational talk about our quick winged friends and was even able to catch a few of them on the porch in order to give everyone a closer look. I've always said that our hummingbirds were a bit spoiled, but with such a large audience last night, I am sure they are going to be showing off like crazy for the next couple of days.
If you missed the hummingbird talk, don't worry! We will be having an equally interesting discussion next week about our very own Key Museum! As always, these talks are free and open to the public every Wednesday at 7 and include complimentary cookies, coffee, and punch.
I was told to keep tomorrow's soups under wraps, but we're all friends here right? Just be sure not to tell to many people, but it looks like we are going to be having Cowboy Buffalo Stew and Cream of Mushroom.
And if you plan on stopping by today or sometime this weekend give us a ring at 970-586-6151 or visit our website at www.baldpateinn.com and click on the opentable button under our dining page to make reservations. The Baldpate Inn is simply bristling with activity lately and we look forward to sharing its special charm with you and yours!

Good Morning Estes Park,
Cory Meza here at the Front Desk wishing you a splendid day while you are out and about. The forecast is calling for a very nice day with the highs in the upper 70s and thunderstorms possibly in the afternoon around 3pm. That means pack your water and sunscreen and get hiking early. Today I recommend Blue Lake, from the Bear Lake trail head follow the trail to Black Lake, and at the base of Thatchtop Mountain turn up the hill, eastward, until you find the lake sitting on a rock shelf. The views of the mountains and the valley are spectacular. I also suggest getting a head start on this hike earlier than later, 1) Bear Lake trailhead fills up quickly during the day, and 2) you’ll avoid the thunderstorms in the afternoon.
So when you do finish hiking and are hungry for something to satisfy your appetite, stop on by The Baldpate Inn, we’re right off highway 7 right across the road from Lily Lake. We just keep getting busier and busier, so we encourage you call ahead and make reservations, 970-586-6151, or go online and reserve a table through our dining page, http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp.
Today Menu:
Soups: White Chili and Tomato Rice, which is especially good with some pepper jack cheese
Muffins: Oatmeal Blues, oatmeal blueberry muffins made better by the Baldpate Chefs, and Three Cheese Muffins, which are great when used to soak up the Tomato rice soup
I snagged this info from my insider source in the kitchen and tomorrow soups will be Red Chili and Garden Vegetable.
Have a blessed day wherever you are headed,
