Deep within the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, The Stanley Hotel stands like a beacon on the hill with its brilliant white shining like an apparition since 1909. The stunning Georgian architecture of this historic landmark has served as an inspiration for many, including the Stephen King classic, ‘The Shining’. After spending a cold winter night at this desolate hotel during the off-season, Stephen King immediately experienced the isolation of this special place and the surrounding rugged terrain. A tour of this hotel provides a step back in time and for those interested in paranormal activity; these long halls provide plenty of accounts over the years. The surrounding mountain views are absolutely stunning while sitting on the grand front porch and soaking it all in.
