The luxury Stanley Hotel in Estes Park has a brass orientation table about 300 yards (274 m) from the main entrance. There are permanent coordinates that read:
Stanley Hotel
Altitude 7650 feet
Longitude 105° 31' W
Latitude 40° 23' N
I do not know if they were giving coordinates for the actual hotel or the orientation table. The coordinates I took of the orientation table are what I have used. There does not seem to be a significant difference between their coordinates and mine.
Type of structure: Sign
Difference between the post coordinates and your GPSr reading:
(I have converted my GPRs coordinates of the orientation table to meet the permanent coordinates)
Altitude
Permanent = 7650 feet Mine = 7648 feet
Latitude
Permanent = N40° 23' Mine = N40° 22' 56"
Longitude
Permanent = W105° 31' Mine = W105° 31' 09"
Altitude = 2 feet difference (negligible)
Latitude = -4" difference (negligible)
Longitude = 0.9" difference (negligible)
Their coordinates seem to dead on!
Reason for the coordinates: Either the location of the Stanley Hotel or the orentation table in front of the hotel
