If a road trip sounds appealing for your next vacation, consider a journey to visit five historic hotels in the southwest part of Colorado . . . . .
It is early in 1859. The cries announcing the discovery of gold and silver in Colorado were heard all the way to the east coast of the United States. People of all ages responded and traveled west to seek their fortune or perhaps escape their past. Wherever they were headed, they needed a place to live, and during the next 40 years, Colorado’s mining towns flourished, and its cities thrived.
As “mining fever” increased its hold on the newcomers, populations grew rapidly, and the mountain towns became more prosperous. Enter those men who could see that tents and log cabins to house the miners needed to be replaced by more lasting establishments—hotels. Some were small and basic, some were lavishly grand, but all were built with a sense of permanency and hope.
Enterprising men in the larger cities of Denver, Boulder, Estes Park, Glenwood Springs and Colorado Springs could also see the need for more lavish accommodations worthy of this influx of humanity into the state. Their hotel dreams were perhaps even bolder than those of their mining-town contemporaries as many of these hotels would grow to rely on tourism—not the mining industry—to stay afloat.
Opportunity was available to all during this time in United States history; one just had to know where to look. These early entrepreneurs in Colorado looked in the right direction, saw an opportunity, and had the courage to follow through with their vision.
