Great food and drinks in a historic location. We recommend going for happy hour deals. This place can fill up, so we recommend arriving as happy hour starts to get a seat or making a dinner reservation. The prices for dinner are a little higher, check their website for hours and menu details.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué debes empacar
Prepping for the high country
1. Bring sunscreen and sun glasses. Exposure is more intense up here.
2. Pack layers - our temperature changes are drastic in any given day. If you go for a hike, bring a light weight wind breaker in case of an afternoon rain or sudden temperature change.
3. Bring a water bottle. Drink lots of water, it is easier to get dehydrated up here.
4. Don't leave food outside and unsecured, in the neighborhood there are bear, moose, fox and other critters who are hungry.
