Crags Lodge (Golden Eagle Resort)
Larimer County
The Crags Lodge, under the guidance of its founder and owner, Joe Mills, offered comfortable lodging, good food, and spectacular mountain scenery to Estes Park tourists from 1914 through 1935.
Mills made a major contribution to the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park through his writings and speeches. He continued to influence the early management of the park through his spirited and successful advocacy for a policy to limit public conveyances on park roads.
