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.

The cheese curds are awesome. The drinks are also delicious, though a little on the pricey side. Overall good food, nearby in downtown Fraser.

A great local spot for tubing. Not free, they have a system to tow you back up. The hills are bigger, not well suited for little kids.

A fairly flat route that leads into downtown Winter Park. There is a park along the route too. Suitable for towing a kid bike trailer. We recommend starting from the parking lot behind Changes Thrift Store (near the Safeway)

Det skal du pakke
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.
