We love the portions at this place. Unique biscuits, easily split or take leftovers home. Don’t be fooled, their homemade yogurt and granola bowl is also one of our favorites.
Often we order a biscuit and split a strawberry shortcake 🤤 or cinnamon roll.
The lines can be long, so arrive early.

Our favorite sushi spot. Make a reservation between 4-6 for incredible happy hour deals. Aim to sit at the sushi bar for a unique experience…and often we’ve found we’ll get a free item or two

We have traveled a fair bit, and this bbq is still one of the best.
Their ribs and pork belly have a carmelized slightly crisp coating on top and tender as ever underneath….no need for sauce! The fatty brisket and homemade bread (ask for it, it’s free) are also outstanding. They are only opened 11-3 ( or till sold out) on Friday and Saturday.

Incredible garlic knots (sourdough filled with cheese) and sweet chili sauce to dip 🤤
Also a really great Caesar salad and unique homemade ice cream flavors (until they sell out)

Park in the lot off of 93. Short hike up the gravel road for beautiful views of golden and the greater denver area. Flat top trails once you ascend can take you all over the mountain. Most anyone could do this hike in about 20 minutes, but it does have some incline. Take your time and breath in the views on the way up

Easy/moderate hike from the parking lot. Mostly gravel/rock/dirt. Weather can change at the top due to elevation. Take an extra layer…and if you choose a rain coat you can likely walk up the glacier and use it as a sled to slide down

Since it’s very close to the airport this is great to hit on your way in from the airport or on your drive back. It’s a free scenic drive that will allow you the chance to see a herd of Buffalos and other local wildlife up close. Around sunrise and sunset seem to be the best times to go.
