Road Trip: Pool Party in Eldorado Springs

Comments

Thanks for reading Wendy!

Was it the Moffat Lakes Resort because of the water diversion project using the Moffat Tunnel, which fed water into the South Boulder Creek? I wonder.

According to A Glimpse at Eldorado's Colorful Past: High-wire Aerialist, Ranchers, and Ballrooms by Joanna Simpson Moffat Lakes Resorts was named for the "Moffat Line" railroad. David Moffat incorporated the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railway which included the tunnel.

Where can I find Joanna Simpson 's book or article?

Thanks for asking, David. A Glimpse at Eldorado's Colorful Past: High-wire Aerialist, Ranchers, and Ballrooms is a 24 page booklet that we have in our Closed Stacks. If you are in the Denver area, you can stop in and take a look at it, or you can request it through Interlibrary Loan. If you would like to own a copy, you may be able to find it through an online retailer.

I have a 1922 picture of my mother in front of a Colorado resort. Wondering if it’s Eldorado springs. Does anyone there have an interest?. I could send the picture if so.
Thank you, Laurie.
