This volume is the consequence of dissecting all previous editions and selecting the essence of the very early times spent in Estes Park. Enos A. Mills’ first book, The Story of Early Estes Park and a Guide Book is, as always, a glorious experience to explore the Estes Park of the past. Enos did not include the Guide section in his second edition The Story of Estes Park . Nor did the subsequent editions The Story of Estes Park and Grand Lake , The Rocky Mountain National Park Memorial Edition , Early Estes Park , and The Story of Early Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Lake . We have tried to remain faithful to the original paleface names of areas, rock formations and canyons of this time period, simply because we cannot keep up with the recent explosion of confusing name changes. We have added a few new goodies we hope you will enjoy. We thank the Stanley Museum of Estes Park, Colorado and Kingfield, Maine, for graciously allowing us to include a portion of Flora’s personal perspective of Estes Park.
