Food Scene
One of Glenwood Springs’ best! The restaurant offers delicious and authentic Italian food in a neat underground space. The portions are generous and include salad, bread, and a scoop of ice cream for an affordable price (~$13-15)! During the summer and holiday seasons, the restaurant is very busy and you may have a long wait. We recommend the lasagna!

This restaurant is a great steak and seafood joint. The items can be on the pricy side, but everything is delicious—especially the au gratin potatoes and the mushroom brie sandwich for lunch. If the weather is nice, the roof patio is the best place to sit. They do offer a happy hour from 4-6, with specials on a few appetizers and beverages. They sometimes have live music on the weekends!

This is a tourist favorite. The restaurant brews its own beer. If you’re a beer snob, you probably won’t be too impressed by the beer, but others love it! The food is generally good, but a little pricy for average brewpub food.

This incredible trail starts a few blocks from the house—turn right on 8th and take a left where 8th Street ends (You’ll see a sign for the boy scout trail)! It’s a steep hike up the mountain ~1800ft elevation gain), but when you get to the top, you can turn left to go onto Forest Hallow Train out onto the rim of the incredible Glenwood Springs Canyon. The rim is flat for the next 6ish miles. Or, you can turn right and head toward the Doc Holliday Trail. The entire Scout/Doc loop is about 6.25 miles from the house.
