Fascinating look at Estes Parks historyBy WeechellaOnce you get past how nice the paper feels; youll realize that theres more to this book than just a pretty cover.Ms. Barnes has done an excellent job of selecting photographs that illustrate the growth and personality of Estes Park. She provides insightful and knowledgeable descriptions that give substance to make this much more than just a "picture book."This book would appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in Estes Park; and it is sure to become a mainstay for those with a serious interest in the history of the area. Well done!
