Evergreen Area
Evergreen is the home of the Moston Family. A quick 20 minute drive from the hotel area, this town will give you all the mountain-vibes! Highly recommend a trip up for the views - you may even spot some elk!
Little Bear Saloon
Famous dive bar in Evergreen. Great spot for a local beer and maybe some music. Pool tables upstairs!
Murphy's Mountain Grill
Great for a mid-level dinner in Evergreen. Upscale burgers and sandwiches - try the Dirty Frenchman!
Evergreen Lake House
The highlight of Evergreen - walk around the lake for a short stroll (only 1.4 flat miles).
Alderfer/Three Sisters Park East Trailhead
This is our favorite hike for new visitors! Options to walk through the flatter valley or do a short up-hill to a stunning peak over Evergreen.
Cactus Jack's Saloon & Grill
Bill's favorite! Casual bar with live music and good bar food.
Willow Creek Restaurant
Cozy upscale restaurant right near the Evergreen Lake.
Golden Area
Golden is another great mountain town, a little closer to the hotels. Home of the Colorado School of Mines, Coors and a slew of breweries.
Denver Biscuit Company
Famous breakfast staple in Denver
Woody's Wood Fired Pizza
Popular pizza spot in downtown Golden
New Terrain Brewing Company
Kevin's favorite brewery out west!
Coors Brewery Tour
If you're ready to really take in the Colorado brewery scene, sign up for a tour of the Coors Factory.
Red Rocks Area
Red Rocks / Morrison area has a bit less to do, but some great history! Wish we could all catch a famous Red Rocks concert, but instead, explore the area with a walk around the famous flat-irons.
Matthews / Winters Park
Great spot for a hike near Red Rocks - relatively flat. Do as much or as little as you want as you overlook Denver.
The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave
Windy Saddle Park
Great hike and doable for relatively new hikers. Hikes range from 0.5 miles to 3 miles. This hike includes beautiful views, good shade, and a coffee shop at the top. It is also right near the Buffalo Bill Museum, which would make a great stop.
Denver Area
Denver will be the most accessible! The spots below are great options for a quick lunch or afternoon on your way in/out of Colorado.
Little Man Ice Cream
Famous ice cream hot spot in the Lo-Hi neighborhood!
Postino LoHi
If you need a great lunch spot, this is the best happy hour deal in town! Amazing bruschetta boards.
Denver Union Station
Historic train station in Downtown Denver - fun to explore, grab a drink, etc.
Dairy Block
Indoor market tucked into a downtown Denver street - take your pick from local vendors!
Royal Arch Trail
Try out a near-by Boulder hike, then grab a margarita in town and browse the cute shops of Pearl Street.
Other great restaurants & bars to try out: Post Chicken, Williams & Graham, Mizu, Leven Deli Co, Tavernetta Denver
