I think the Hotel from Shining is in Colorado.

SOME selected shots of that hotel in the movie are from Mt. Hood Lodge in Oregon. But it’s only certain shots, while the very next shot may be from a completely different place. You gotta know Mt Hood Lodge to recognize those particular shots.

Movies do that, mix shots from different places and make it look like the same place in the movie. I’ve seen that being done in other movies.

It is. Estes Park,CO.

The hotel in the novel is the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, just outside Rocky Mountain National Park.

The posted story is quite an exaggeration. Some outdoor shots were filmed at Glacier National Park and the crew may well have stayed there. But the exterior hotel shots were done at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood. Interiors were modeled after the Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite.
