"In 1903, a new road was opened from Loveland through the Big Thompson River canyon to Estes Park, increasing access to the valley.
In 1907, three Loveland men established the first auto stage line from Loveland to Estes Park with
three five-passenger touring Stanley Steamers. The following year, Mr. Stanley built nine-passenger
steam busses and opened a bus line between Lyons and Estes Park.
"By 1912, Estes Park had its own seasonal newspaper, the Estes Park Trail, which provided advertising for the
local hotels and other businesses. It was a year-round weekly by 1921.
In 1949, Olympus Dam was finished, creating Lake Estes, giving the town its main source of drinking water.
"Today, Estes Park's outskirts include The Stanley Hotel, built in 1909. An example of Edwardian opulence, the building had
Stephen King
as a guest, inspiring him to change the locale for his
novel
The Shining
from an amusement park to the Stanley's fictional stand-in, the Overlook Hotel."   - Wikipedia
