Hotel Colorado


Continuing with the Colorado theme this week, this is the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The Hotel sits just across the street from the famous Glenwood Hot Springs. Did you know the Hotel Colorado was 'Base Camp' for an unsuccessful bear hunt by Theodore Roosevelt? When he returned the maids gave him a stuffed bear, which he gave to his daughter, who called it Teddy. Was this the birthplace of the Teddy Bear?

Haney, I have been enjoying your series from your recent trip. Do we get to see some wildlife or find out how well you guys made out in the hunt?
