Breckenridge Brewery is a great place for visitors looking for something local and scenic to do while also enjoying great food and beer! Make sure to schedule a brewery tour, which is cheap and fun! Also be sure to check out the Farm House Restaurant, which is DELICIOUS! The mountain views from here are also incredible!

Downtown Littleton is so close and so adorable! Definitely worth checking out the shops, restaurants, and bars, many of which are locally owned and operated!

Local Park
I (Lauren) take our dog here at least once a week. There is a back entrance just down the street from us. Start by heading west on Caley Ave (towards the mountains). Two streets over (Lakeview St), you'll see the sign for Ketring Park on the right side. The back entrance is to the left past the fenced area down Lakeview. Ketring Park includes a beautiful and fishable lake as well as access to the Littleton Museum. It's incredibly scenic and almost always quiet and peaceful. Great place to read!

Chatfield Reservoir draws in people from all over the Denver Metro area for hiking as well as swimming and boating in it's huge lake. Great place to enjoy the water and a "beach"! Make sure you are prepared for the $8 admission charge.

Roxborough State Park is home to incredible red rocks and some of the best hiking the state has to offer, just about 20 minutes away from our home! Carpenter's Peak Trail is my (Lauren's) favorite hike so far in the state; it's a great moderate six miles with such a variety of views and foliage! There are also plenty of easy hikes as well as a cool nature center. Admission fee is $7-$8.

Fun Historic Things!
The Littleton Museum is a fun place to learn not only more about Littleton's rich history, but Colorado's history as well! Make sure to check out the 19th century farm exhibits, where you can meet donkeys, goats, sheep, steer, and chickens!
From Littleton's website: "The Littleton Museum offers visitors a unique link between Littleton's past and present. Located on 40 acres adjacent to Ketring Lake, it encompasses three exhibition galleries, a children's interactive gallery, research center, lecture hall, and two 19th-century living history farm sites."

The Depot Art Gallery is another fun and historic thing to do in Downtown Littleton. It's a stone's throw away from all the bars and restaurants on Main Street.

Food scene
The Viewhouse restaurants have become a staple in the Denver Metro food and bar scene. It's a good place to go for drinking and bar food, or to watch a sporting event. They also have a great rooftop for guests visiting in warmer months. Be sure to check out their website for daily drink specials!

One of the best brunches in town if you have Cajun in your blood! Make sure you have a reservation. From there the hardest decision you'll make will be whether to get the biscuits, beignets , or both!

Carson and I are both from Florida, and grew up where deep southern cooking meets seafood. Enter our love for anything Cajun! The Lost Cajun has a few locations throughout Colorado, and we happen to frequent this one as well as the one in Frisco. Make sure to tell them it's your first time; they will send over a sampling plate to your table with their gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, dirty rice, and lobster bisque!

Angelo's has great Italian food!! The Littleton location is close to Breckenridge Brewery and would be a perfect place to stop in either before or after a tour. If you're looking for a good Italy/Colorado fusion dish, try the bison ravioli!

I (Lauren) am a tea drinker all the way, and prefer it to coffee! I was so excited to find there was a local tea shop so close to our new home when we moved in. Go check out their huge selection, and be sure to take some of your favorite loose-leaf home!
