Guidebook for Boulder
Food Scene
Fantastic family owned restaurant in Ward, about 10 minutes from the cabin.
Don’t let the Ward surroundings fool you, this place is spotlessly clean, and the food is great.
For breakfast try anything smothered in their green chile. (And, if they offer their apple-pie
pancakes as a special, you have just hit the jackpot!) For dinner, the food is mostly Italian, but
occasionally Patrick gets extra creative and offers a different special. Call for their hours (303) 459-0358

Parks & Nature
10 minute drive from
the cabin. It typically opens in early June, but you can hike the main road (3 miles) to Brainard
Lake for incredible views even before the road to all the trailheads is open to cars. There are
many fantastic trails here, and access to high alpine hikes. Bring a jacket if
you plan to summit, and head out early to avoid afternoon thunderstorms.
