I hope to make it there one day and have my picture made right where you're standing.

It was also built by the railroad and house a Harvey House, too.

La Posada must be gorgeous.<br /><br />Wonder how many people take pictures with that sign every year.

Thank you for writing such an informative post. So many towns disappeared when travel bypassed their towns .My dad drove Route 66 from California to Iowa when I was a kid. I love the song and the Eagles.

A couple saved the hotel and have been restoring it ever since. Without that, I don't think anyone would ever come here except locals. The hotel is right beside the train tracks. You can sit out there, drink in hand, watching the stars and the trains.

So man...Kristy, thank you for sharing this history. So many places like this had heydays and now struggle. Cripple Creek/Victor were great mining towns, now not much is left of those days.
