Send us Fan MailMelissa Strong, was electrocuted at home, while working on a design project related to opening her now-acclaimed restaurant (Bird & Jim) in Estes Park, CO. She died briefly and came back, experiencing a forest and tunnel! When she came back, the damage was so severe that charred bones in her hands were visible, jutting out where fingers once were. Doctors initially told her she would likely only have four fingers left — her pinkies and index fingers. A passionate, elite climber, this was difficult news for Melissa to swallow.The recovery was long and brutal, both mentally and physically. At one point in the hospital, her arms were surgically sewn together, and she was riding a stationary bike in that condition just trying to keep her body moving and her mind sane. Six months later, she managed to open her first restaurant, and eventually found her way back to rock climbing.She wrote a memoir about the experience, published by Falcon, called Climbing Through: A Courageous Story of Grit, Healing, and Second Chances (March 3, 2026, paperback). Returning to climbing became a huge part of rebuilding both physically and mentally.This is a story of immense strength and inspiration!

Maria Chevalier has run a marathon in 48 states, finished the Boston Marathon 17 times, and a few weeks ago ran it twice in the same day, starting at 3 a.m. in reverse from Boston to Hopkinton, resting for a few hours, and then lining up with everyone else for the actual race. 52.4 miles total.But the distance is almost beside the point. What makes this conversation worth listening to is how Maria thinks about hard things and why she keeps choosing them.She's navigated four wrist reconstructions that ended her music career before it fully started. Nine DNFs at Vermont 100 before finally finishing on the tenth try. A medical history that took away choices she thought were hers to make. And through all of it, she kept finding a way to keep moving forward.This conversation goes deep and is a must listen!Topics covered:How running found Maria after she couldn't make the team in any other sportWhat drew her to the 50 States and why she's two away from finishingWhy road marathons and trail ultras attract fundamentally different peopleThe dashboard effect — why people share their most vulnerable things on long runsHer DNF at Vermont 100 at mile 65 and quietly finishing her first hundred in Boulder months laterNine DNFs at Vermont before finishing on attempt number tenWrist reconstructions that ended her path to a music careerLearning she couldn't have children and how she found her way through itWhy she stopped listening to people telling her what she couldn't doWhat she told her surgeon in the pre-op room that says everything about who she isThe Gap and the Gain — looking back at progress instead of forward at the gapHow Double Boston came together with Mount to Coast and the Trail Animals Running ClubWhat it felt like to start a marathon at 3 a.m. and feel fresh enough to run another oneWhat's coming up: Vermont 100, Manchester Monadnock 55, and the final two statesThis episode is supported by:Precision Fuel & Hydration - Dial your fueling in this year.

Three feet of snow in early May and we still point the bikes toward Rocky Mountain National Park. With my buddy Jake, we leave Estes Park and climb Bear Lake Road toward 9,500 feet, watching temperatures, scanning shadowed corners, and keeping one rule front and center: no ego. If it gets sketchy, we turn back. That's real motorcycle safety, not bravado. Past the park gates, the fear evaporates. The Park Service has the road clear, and Colorado delivers that rare contrast of dry black asphalt framed by piles of pristine white snow. I trail Jake through careful corners while my camera rolls, and the Continental Divide rises over the handlebars like something ancient and quiet. Along the way we spot deer, elk, and even a moose settled into a snowy meadow, then we kill the engines at Bear Lake and let the mountain silence rush in. But the ride is only half the story. Over coffee before the climb, we talk about friends carrying PTSD, people crushed by work stress, and how hard it is to find a moment of peace in a loud world. We land on why riding matters so much: it's moving meditation. You can't live in the past or the future on a motorcycle. You have to be here, now, and that focus opens the door to gratitude and to the kind of shared experience that sticks for a lifetime. If this hits home, subscribe to Peace Love Moto, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review.

If you don't already know who Steph Abegg is, I can almost certainly say that you've used her work. Her detailed route topos, trip reports, and beta overlays appear all over the internet covering climbs from the North Cascades to Red Rocks. For nearly 20 years, she's been quietly building one of the most comprehensive free climbing resources on the internet—not for profit, not for sponsorship, but because she genuinely loves documenting routes and helping people have better days in the mountains. She's what the climbing community needs more of: someone creating value without asking for anything in return.This is Steph's second time on the show. Three years ago, she had just landed a data science job and bought a house in Estes Park. Now she's unemployed, living in a Transit van, and writing a book of her favorite climbs across North America. What happened in between is a story about rejection, redirection, and choosing passion over security—even when it doesn't make financial sense.#femaleclimber #rockclimbingThanks to our sponsors!LIVSN DesignsCheckout Their Ecotrek Trail Pants HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for an extra 15% OFF Your OrderHelp Support The Show & Unlock The Ad-Free PodcastResourcesSteph's Website (Donate HERE)Steph's IG

There is something powerful about learning to see the natural world differently—and in this conversation, I sat down with Dawn Wilson to explore that and more. From her life in Estes Park surrounded by elk to leading photography tours across Alaska, Peru, and beyond, Dawn shares what it looks like to build a career founded in observation, respect, and curiosity. We talk about the experiences that shaped her as a photographer, the stories behind the images, and how paying attention to nature changes how you approach your work. This conversation blends storytelling with a deeper look at wildlife photography, conservation, and the choices we make when we step into these environments. In this episode, we cover: Life in Estes Park and photographing wildlife up close Wildlife encounters, including elk, moose, and night photography experiences Building a career through photography, writing, and guiding Understanding animal behavior and why it matters Using photography to support conservation and awareness The role of storytelling in creating impact Why slowing down—especially in wildlife areas—matters Links & Resources: North American Nature Photographers Association (NANPA): https://nanpa.org Dawn Wilson's tours and workshops https://www.dawnwilsonphotography.com/photo-workshops https://www.ccnaturetours.com/ Blog post: https://studio.wildwomanphotography.com/post/episode-41-dawn-wilson   Visit www.wildwomanphotography.com to check out featured wild women, episode transcripts and more information how to elevate your photography with us!

This week I'm talking to Richard Estep. He is a paramedic and paranormal investigator. We discuss his experiences as a paranormal investigator and his books detailing the many places he has witnessed extraordinary events. We focus on his book 'The Devil's Coming To Get Me, The Haunting of Malvern Manor'. Malvern Manor has been many things over the course of its long life. In the late 1800s it was a hotel catering to travelers and businessmen; then it was converted into a rest home for the sick and infirm; and finally, it became a privately-owned care facility, providing a home for the physically and mentally challenged of six counties. It was often the last refuge for those suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and severe behavioral disorders. Long after the building closed its doors for the final time, many people claim that some of those residents never left. Now a magnet for paranormal investigators, it is said that the abandoned rooms and hallways of Malvern Manor are haunted by the restless spirits of those who once called it home. Bio Richard Estep, author, paranormal investigator, and TV personality. You might have seen me on TV's Haunted Case Files (Paranormal Investigators in the UK) Haunted Hospitals, Paranormal Revenge, Paranormal Night Shift, Paranormal 911 (that's a lot of paranormals!) Destination Fear, or A Haunting. My love of all things ghostly began at a very young age, fed by staying in my grandparents' haunted house in England and by a constant stream of binge reading at my local library (Syston Library, you're the best!) I didn't begin to actually investigate hauntings until the mid-nineties, but when I started, the bug bit me and hasn't let go ever since. I took this passion with me when I moved to the United States in 1999, and finally formed the Boulder County Paranormal Research Society in 2006. These days, most of my cases are research projects for books. I started to write about my experiences in 2013, and now have north of 30 of books that are either on the market or contracted to be released in the near future. I make my living as a paramedic and clinical educator for a private ambulance company and hospital system. For three years, I gave tours at the infamous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado — inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining. In the tiny amount of free time that does not involve paranormal investigation and writing about it, I am an unabashed geek, with a particular bias towards all things Star Wars. I have a Lego problem that may eventually require professional counseling if it gets any further out of hand. Perhaps above all else, I am a collector and reader of books. https://www.richardestep.net/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BKMPPCP https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Life is heavy. Relationships, health, finances, loneliness, parenting — the hard things pile up fast. But what if hope isn't about your circumstances changing? What if it's something deeper, something that can hold even when nothing else does? This week, Amy Drake sits down with Jennie Fletemeyer and Lori Wurth to recap Calvary Bible Church's Women's Retreat, where 200 women gathered in Estes Park for a weekend called Called to Hope. They walk through the retreat's four sessions — Rising Hope, Living Hope, Enduring Hope, and Rejoicing in Hope — and share what it looks like to exchange wishful thinking for a biblical hope rooted in the character and promises of Jesus Christ. They talk about what it really means to "cast" your cares on God (hint: it's more like a full-arm chuck than a gentle handoff), why sadness and hope aren't opposites, and how a room full of women singing together, taking communion, and yes — accidentally starting a conga line — can remind you that joy is still available, no matter what chapter you're living in. Whether you're in a hard season or just need a reminder of where to anchor your heart, this conversation is honest, warm, and full of hope. Theme passage: 1 Peter 1:3–5

The Stanley Hotel isn't just a famous haunted hotel in Estes Park, Colorado—it's a place where real disaster and pop-culture horror fused into one unstoppable legend. Tonight, we trace the true story that begins with a stormy night in 1911, when acetylene gas silently pooled inside Room 217… and a single candle turned the west wing into a blast zone. A young head chambermaid, Elizabeth Wilson, is hurled through collapsing floors—and somehow survives. From there, the Stanley's history becomes a slow-burn nightmare: financial collapse, empty winter hallways, and decades of ghost lore—from whispers of F.O. Stanley still “checking in” on the lobby, to tales of Flora Stanley's phantom piano echoing through silent rooms. Then comes the turning point: October 30, 1974—a nearly empty hotel, a writer in Room 217, and a nightmare that helps ignite Stephen King's The Shining (without claiming ghosts as fact). And once the Stanley becomes the pilgrimage site for horror fans, the modern era kicks the door in—paranormal TV, viral “evidence,” festivals, and a full-tilt business model built on one irresistible question: is it haunted… or is it just brilliantly haunted-by-storytelling? A real explosion. A real survival. A real hotel that learned to live forever as a legend.We're telling that story tonight. 

This week on the Regional Roundup, we'll pay a visit to the First People's Festival that took place in Estes Park, Colorado, earlier this month. The three-day event brought together Indigenous artists, educators, and community members for fashion, art, dance, and storytelling. We also learn about a program that teaches high school students trade skills, and puts those skills to work building affordable housing. We'll also take a closer look at the Colorado River Basin, where the U.S. Department of the Interior has released a draft environmental impact statement outlining potential paths forward for managing the river and its two largest reservoirs, Lake Powell and Lake Mead. We'll round out the show with a conversation with the filmmaker behind a new documentary examining the crisis in local journalism.

paypal.me/LibroTobias ko-fi.com/asier24969 Como siempre, cada 5 programas hacemos uno de literatura y como ya os comente, en la presente temporada vamos a dedicar cada audio a aquellos libros de Stephen King de los que todavía no había hablado en este podcast. En esta ocasión os traigo “El resplandor”, la tercera novela del maestro, publicada en 1977. La novela se vertebra en la mente de SK cuando SK y Tabitha pasaron una noche en el Hotel Stanley en Estes Park, Colorado (a los pies Parque nacional Rocky Mountain). Fueron los únicos huéspedes de un hotel que estaba cerrando por temporada baja y ocuparon la habitación 217. La historia sobre un hombre alcohólico con problemas e ira que acepta un trabajo de vigilante en un Hotel de montaña que quedará cerrado y aislado por la nieve durante meses, dio lugar a una novela de cinco partes que incorporaba gran parte de los demonios y obsesiones personales de King.

Some places feel haunted the moment you step inside, and the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park is one of them. But nothing prepares you for the moment the building decides to acknowledge you back. A family visit turns unsettling when two quick staircase photos—taken seconds apart—capture something no one saw in person. In the first image, the storyteller's legs are partially swallowed by a dark mass. In the second, that mass shifts into the clear outline of a human form standing right beside them. No reenactors, no costumed staff… just something watching. Later that night, inside the dim tunnels beneath the hotel, more surprises appear. What began as casual cell-phone snapshots turn into something unnerving when the orbs in the photos reveal what look like faces—one blurry, one unmistakably sharp—staring straight into the camera. Is it dust? A trick of the flash? Or is the Stanley Hotel simply doing what it's always done: showing visitors that not everyone wandering its halls is alive? #StanleyHotel #EstesPark #hauntedhotel #ghostphoto #shadowfigure #orbs #paranormalencounter #ghosttour #realghoststories #truehaunting  Love real ghost stories?

In this special episode swap, listeners are swept into the ghost-laden corridors of the legendary Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado—the real-world inspiration behind The Shining. Through rich storytelling and a flair for the uncanny, Ani Khajadourian of Audibly Haunted resurrects the hotel’s past: the 1911 explosion that shook room 217, the resilient chambermaid Elizabeth Wilson who still tidies up from beyond the grave, the spectral children racing down the fourth-floor halls, and the gentlemanly cowboy ghost who warms room 428 with a phantom’s charm. Each floor, each door, each whisper carries a century of mystery. The living check out, but the hotel’s other guests never do.

In this chilling Colorado encounter, Lindsay shares the story of how strange rock stacks, hidden symbolism, and a mysterious statue at Mariana Butte led her to uncover unsettling patterns pointing toward Bigfoot activity and possible portal phenomena near Estes Park, Longs Peak, and the Rocky Mountain National Forest.From unexplained boulder placements on tree stumps to directional statues that seem to point toward areas known for Missing 411 disappearances, this episode explores the deeper meaning behind Colorado's most bizarre wilderness signs. Lindsay also reveals her firsthand experiences with terrifying growls, tree knocks, and eerie mimicry while living near wooded areas in Missouri—events that pushed her to consider whether Bigfoot may be an interdimensional beingcapable of moving through portals.Join us as we discuss:• Rock stacks and symbols linked to Bigfoot behavior• Longs Peak and Rocky Mountain National Forest disappearance clusters• Statues at Mariana Butte pointing toward known missing-person zones• Dogman-like growls, tree knocking, and unexplained mimicry• Portal theories, interdimensional entities, and what they mean for Bigfoot• Why experienced hikers and children vanish without a trace in Colorado's mountains

The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado is legendary for its hauntings — and one visitor's chilling experience proves why it's one of America's most haunted destinations. While waiting on a bench near the grand staircase, a guest's daughter snapped two quick cell phone photos. The first photo shows a shadow-like mass partially covering the guest's legs. In the second shot, taken seconds later, the shadow had shifted — now standing beside them in the clear shape of a human figure. But this wasn't their first haunted hotel encounter. Seventeen years earlier, while staying in one of the famously haunted rooms of a historic Montana hotel, the same person awoke to a young woman ghost pulling down their blankets and shaking the bed, trying to get their attention. On another trip, while sleeping in a Las Vegas hotel, they awoke to see a woman levitating at the end of their bed, dressed in early-1900s clothing with a hat and long coat. She vanished the moment the light switched on. These terrifying experiences prove that sometimes the spirits of historic hotels don't just linger in legends — they reveal themselves. #StanleyHotelGhost #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHotel #GhostPhoto #HauntedMontana #VegasHaunting #LevitatingGhost #HauntedTunnels #ParanormalEvidence #HauntedRockies #GhostCaughtOnCamera Love real ghost stories?

Grab your oven mitts, because the tea is scalding! At CrimeCon 2025 in Denver, Colorado, we set up our first-ever Petty Crime Confession Box—and true crime fans did not hold back. From public urination to accidental shoplifting to church scandals that would make your grandma blush, the confessions poured in, giving us a hilarious and bizarre glimpse into the “life of petty crime.” We're joined by special guest Heather Ashley, host of Big Mad True Crime and a Violent Crime Intelligence & Reduction Specialist, who brings her own sharp (and funny) perspective to the chaos. With her long-time CrimeCon experience, Heather wanted to see exactly what her people have been hiding… and let's just say: the answers did not disappoint. But first, Trevin shares his “dreadful dilemma” of experiencing a Twilight Zone-style déjà vu in Estes Park, where every single stranger looked familiar. Amanda talks about surviving a post-convention breakdown—literally—when her car died in traffic as strangers yelled for her to move it. And Heather brings her own gut-wrenching dilemma, courtesy of some very spicy “frog salsa.” Then it's on to the confessions themselves—35 handwritten stories of crimes big and small, read aloud for the first time. You'll hear about: YouTuber & Podcaster, CC Suarez's revenge pee that got her expelled from boarding school The rise of a vandal tagger using the mark of buff Garfield (yes, the cat) A bracelet stolen in Myrtle Beach by accident A church hookup so awkward even the cops had to laugh Fans who can't stop stealing pint glasses and Taco Bell drive-thru drama And confessions of guilt over things that weren't even crimes in the first place From petty theft to accidental indecency, public urination at CrimeCon to mealworm mischief at Walmart, this episode proves that true crime fans know crime best. Whether funny, relatable, or straight-up unholy, these confessions remind us that everyone has a skeleton or two in their closet. So grab your magnifying glass, put on your detective cap, and speculate wildly with us—because nothing bonds true crime fans like a good petty confession.

Estes Park, Colorado, gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, has long relied on its outdoor recreation economy. In fact, just a few years ago, it was outpacing the rest of Colorado in tourism growth. But in 2025, federal policy changes, including mass firings at federal agencies like the National Park Service, are raising questions:Will communities like Estes Park be able to weather the storm?In this episode, we visit Estes Park to speak directly with business owners and guides whose livelihoods are intertwined with the health of public lands. Despite economic pressures and staffing cuts, visitation to Rocky Mountain National Park is up. But will that be enough to sustain local businesses?

We visit haunted hotels you can actually book—from the Stanley Hotel (inspiration for The Shining) to Glacier National Park's Belton Chalet—with the hosts of National Park After Dark. Our guests, Danielle LaRock and Cassie Yahnian, share chilling tales of historic lodging near our country's most majestic parks. Join us (if you dare) to meet the West's creepiest overnight guests, including Scary Mary and her terrifying grip as well as a helpful suitcase-packing specter.  Danielle and Cassie also provide practical advice for ghost-curious travelers, explain why the pleasures of staying in these classic sites can offset their supernatural challenges, and why you might not want to sleep—or even shower!—alone in some of them. Whether you're plotting your next national park road trip or just love a spooky story, this episode is for you. Spine-tingling highlights: The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, CO: Find out why the Stanley's vibes feel “spooky but wholesome”—and what really happened in room 217. Golden North Hotel, Skagway, AK: Gold Rush–era landmark where “Scary Mary” still stares out the window.

Plus, listeners' paranormal encounters at Fort Bragg's Gray Whale Inn, aboard the Queen Mary, and in Laughlin, Nevada.

Systemic Maternal Inflammation and Neurodevelopment: The Role of IL-6 and IFN-γ in Autism Spectrum Disorder I just returned from Estes Park, Colorado where I presented a lecture on the Growing Brain/Mind - a tour through the underpinnings of childhood neurological changes that we call Autism. The timing is perfect for this article to be written. In an era when chronic disease in children is rising at an unprecedented pace, the search for root causes must include an honest inquiry into the conditions present during fetal development. The review article by Majerczyk and colleagues, Systemic Maternal Inflammation Promotes ASD via IL-6 and IFN-γ, brings forward a critical piece in this puzzle that I began to explore a few years ago when writing a book. It connects the dots between maternal immune dysregulation and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, specifically autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through a synthesis of clinical data and animal research, the authors make a compelling case for the centrality of two inflammatory messengers, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), in shaping fetal brain development during gestational stress. The key words here being GESTATIONAL STRESS, the recurring scientific theme for ASD development, not vaccines... and some literature reviews. Dr. M

EP:153 Hey Thrive Community! In this episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my unforgettable road trip with Carter. From spontaneous adventures through Santa Fe, Taos, Estes Park, and Crested Butte, to hiking breathtaking trails and even buying my dream vintage 1979 Ford Bronco (hello, Sally Joy Ride!), this journey was all about stepping out of my comfort zone, reconnecting with nature, and finding new ways to regulate and recharge. I open up about the challenges and joys of traveling without a set itinerary, the magic of seeing wildlife in the Rockies, and the importance of making space for adventure and healing—especially as a solo parent, business owner, and someone on a lifelong journey of growth. Plus, I share how these experiences brought Carter and me closer, and why it's so vital to pause, reflect, and truly enjoy the ride.

Kris writes " In early January I decided to head to RMNP west of Estes Park to hike up and snowboard down an old ski hill there. This is something I've done many times on my own and often there are others doing the same. Although I think it's a bit more rare to go at night, you'll still see folks up there hitting a line a night with head lamps and lights. This time I decided to go at night on my own. I did tell 3 friends where I was going and actually texted one friend a starry Pic from the trailhead. The trailhead lot was empty as we're the ranger stations on the way in. So, at this point I headed up the hill. It usually takes about an hour depending on snow conditions. I had a snowboard, a backpack with snacks and a Bluetooth speaker. I typically opt out of using snowshoes because Ive got to carry them down as well. I threw on the whole Sabbath paranoid album to get my head straight and motivated. The hill is a limited number of runs with low angles so there is really no avalanche danger. A week prior, I did the exact same thing. A night hike and boarded down. So, I was confident and enjoying the solace. Even over the sabbath, I could here the wind moving tall trees and flakes hitting the ground. The trail isn't challenging going up and the terrain opens and closes with the trees in the background. About 45 minutes in, I am at the point where the hill opens up and is peppered with trees in the ski slope. The sides are surrounded by darkness due to the trees around. My speaker suddenly says "low battery". I kept walking to the top where the hill funnels you into a narrow trail between more trees. ( i had my phone, so i could point this part out on Google maps) Right then, I decide to reach back and turn off the speaker so I don't have to hear the low battery alert. I continue up this narrow trail for about 80 yards, just short of thr length of a football field. Only hearing the flakes landing, wind, and my crunchy boot prints, out of nowhere came the loudest BARK, with a roaring echo, I've ever heard. At this point, I froze. My whole body went into shock. I went from nice n warm because of all the movement to cold as ice. I lost feeling in my lips. I didn't know what to do, or say or.... So I did what I've done on a couple occasions. I channeled my inner Phil Anselmo and ripped the biggest scream I could. I yelled HEY! With everything I had. I wanted to Guage where this noise came from so I yelled. After, I sat down shaking. About 15 heartbeats later, BARK! At that moment I knew it was in the trees down from me. Silence in-between these barks so I know it wasn't moving. I got into my bag and took out 3 lights I use for night biking. All of which are at least 1000 lumens. I pointed one up the trail, one down the trail, and one right in front of me into the trees. I listened and heard nothing. I'm thinking, did I imagine this? So I go HEY one more time. Sure enough, about 10- 15 heartbeats later, BARK. I almost started crying as I strapped my snowboard faster than I ever could have otherwise. I'm freaking out in silence as I think I'm about to board into this sound by heading down. As I'm thinking all of this, I've gotten ready and am about to stand up. This is where in the trees ahead of me, a crazy loud laughing started. Hat ha ha ha haha. It echoes as if there are multiple somethings laughing at me. Like a mad joker. I flipped at that point. Mentally freaked out. I was having trouble standing up because my hands were sinking into the snow. I quickly found a way and headed down faster than I would have in the day! I didn't sleep gor two nights, and still have trouble doing so. Thx for reading Wes. I was shaking and having a hard time writing this."   We will also be speaking to Augustus, he writes "My uncle just died and he told we to tell you about all of are interesting stories and the crazy we saw while hunting and horseback riding." Augustus is from Utah and shares strange encounters near his families property.
