The Brown Palace

 On Sunday morning following the Timpanogos Festival, the tellers are normally taken to Salt Lake City to see the live broadcast of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s Music and the Spoken Word program. For the past year and a half the Choir broadcast has been put together from previously recorded programs due to COVID and that plan is still in effect.  So, this year, we went up to Salt Lake City and had a tour of the 21,000 seat Conference Center in all its emptiness!  Afterwards we ended our weekend with a departure breakfast.

On Sunday afternoon Trish and I drove to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, for the night and then on to Denver on Monday.  Our plan was to spend the night in one of my favorite hotels, a place Trish had never been, the beautiful Brown Palace Hotel.

Opened in 1892 when it was the tallest building in Denver, the triangular shape of the building provides a window view for each of its 400 rooms. Its beautiful open interior retains the style of its 1892 era and makes you feel rested just to enter.

After our dinner in the Ship Tavern, we headed up to bed to rest up to drive across the rest of Colorado and all of Kansas tomorrow.
