Actually no parts of Stanley Kubricks movie "The Shining" were filmd here, but the story is based here -
LivingSocial often grants great deals on ghost tours and room rates at The Stanley! This is a legendary hotel, and a tour is a must if you're a Colorado resident! -
The Redrum Ale is excellent - a red ale with a full and smooth flavor along with the Trout dip! -
Wind down with cocktails and dinner at the elegant 103-year-old, white-pillared landmark. Guided ghost tours reveal how Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining while staying in room 217. -

Take a walk around the hotel early in the morning before all the tours start. It makes the hotel seem less like a tourist trap and more like a classy hotel. -
NONE of stanley kubricks "the shining" was filmed at the Stanley Hotel! The exterior shots were filmed in Mt. Hood Oregon at the Timberline Lodge! The interior was filmed on a sound stage in London! -
Parts of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and the comedy "Dumb & Dumber" were shot right here at The Stanley Hotel! Make sure you stay in a haunted room on the 4th floor. -
don't p*** off the ghosts.

Randomly start saying "Redrum Redrum"..neither the hotel staff or guests will care. -
Take the ghost tour... Epic! -
Rooms 217, 418, 401 and a few more are documented as haunted. They cost more to rent for the night, and you won't sleep well. Promise. -

Cowboys Rock!
Elkhorn is not fancy but it is sooooo much fun! The people are friendly and the wranglers at the stables are fantastic. They'll take you horseback riding even if you have no clue which end of the horse is which. I had a great time and am already planning my trip back!
