I have a picture I took from that same overlook! Taken on September 28, 1993. It's just an overlook on the road to Hana on Maui.

Just???? Do you remember driving that road? I drove it at night in a Jeep rental - Holy Crap!

Oh, and mine was from 2007 during the day, of course.

Oh. Well, by "just" I meant that there was no place there to identify it other than it was a spot along side a road. No shack, not bathroom, no gas station, nothing. Just a shoulder there, where normally there was none.

Wherezit or whatzit:

OK. I'll yammer on a little bit.

I see coniferous trees. I see a snow covered mountain in the background. I see a lot of bare ground. The American cars look kind of old. This picture was probably taken in the 90s. I'm thinking it's in the West somewhere. Maybe Colorado, but could be any number of Western states with high altitude.

It's a big building. Probably a hotel or lodge. Old. Historic.

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 10:42 AM

Correct so far!

glatt · 11-21-2011, 10:46 AM

That cupola is a distinctive feature. Not many hotels out there with cupolas like that.

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 10:57 AM

I think you already know it.

glatt · 11-21-2011, 10:59 AM

I don't! I'm doing all sorts of searches using the terms I can think of.

That bare ground says it's dry there.

The Overlook Hotel

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 11:13 AM

Yeah, well...it's the Stanley Hotel, which was King's inspiration for the book. The movie was filmed on soundstages, with exterior shots of Timberline Lodge.

However, they did use The Stanley for the made for tv version.

The Stanley is said to be haunted, natch.

And I was just coming back to post "The Stanley Hotel." I finally found it with "historic" "mountain" "hotel" "Colorado" "cupola."

BigV · 11-21-2011, 11:15 AM

AN Overlook, if you will.

BigV · 11-21-2011, 11:18 AM

Heh. I got my link with the search terms "overlook hotel colorado". Don't remember memorizing the name, but apparently I had.
