Food Scene

Not the cheapest spot in town- but fantastic Spanish tapas/ fusion food, with a romantic vibe. The stuffed Poblano pepper is great!

Sounds like a hotel- but it's actually a Mexican Restaurant. The food is mid-range but the margaritas are good, and they make one as big as your head.

Nice little breakfast spot! The Huevos Rancheros are pretty darn good, and it makes for a really nice weekend morning to sit on the patio with a cup of coffee. Typical diner food, but better than typical atmosphere and service.

One of the only 14,000+ foot peaks that you can almost drive to the top of! It's worth the trip! See marmots and mountain goats, all from the comfort of your car!
