This is one of our favorite places in the area. At Mint, you pick out your cut of meat from the butcher and then cook it yourself over their grill. It sounds hard, but ours always come out amazing! The restaurant is very low-key and has a dive bar feel. Definitely check it out if you eat meat!

If you enjoy craft beer, definitely check out Angry James! We love the vibes here. It is the perfect mountain brewery. They also have awesome food! We particularly love their big pretzels and the bison bratwurst.

We LOVE these crepes in Breckenridge. No matter what kind you get, they are always so delicious. The line can get pretty long, so just keep that in mind. Starting this summer, we should have a location in Silverthorne!

If you want to ski, snowboard, snow shoe, bike, hike, eat, or drink - then definitely head into Breckenridge. Breckenridge has some of the best skiing in the area during the winter, but also awesome hiking and biking in the summer. We personally love going to Breckenridge to shop and eat. We love the Crepe Stand if you are hungry!

Keystone is another great ski resort! Keystone is a bit smaller than Breckenridge, but in a nice way! We personally think that Keystone has the best Après Ski. We love the patio at 'Kickapoo' and love the Bloody Mary's at 'Spoon.'

The Salt Lick Trailhead is just steps out our door. The main trailhead is just a five minute walk down the street, but you can also take a shortcut from our building. The trail is gorgeous and we go almost every day we are in town. There are main spinoff trails as well that you can take. We would rate the trails as easy - moderate.
The trail can also be used for cross country skiing, snow shoeing, and mountain biking.

Great hike near Breckenridge. Definitely, on the more difficult side, this ~7-mile hike ends at an incredible mountain lake. Be sure to bring some layers as the lake can be cold even in the summer.
