Although the inspiration for the book was taken from King’s stay at The Stanley Hotel in Colorado, the movie hotel exteriors is the Timberline Lodge in Oregon.

Actually in Colorado is the establishing shot of the apartment, located at 2950 Bixby Lane in Boulder.

My getaway!

I have been lucky to meet a few of the actors from the film….

I as at the lodge for a special screening of The Shining. Met a lot of fun people that night!
