Favorite Restaurants
The following is a list of our favorite restaurants
Red Rooster Restaurant
4330 CO-66Fabulous breakfast...specialty is Huevos Rancheros. Delicious.
Amazing restaurant located in a tiny mining town in the mountains...6 course meal for about $40. We consider it 7, because their bread is a course in itself. The Finn boys are wonderful ...great at addressing food sensitivities etc. The gluten free bread is delicious! Must make a reservation. The restaurant is open from May - Mid-December. Closed winter months. Building is on the national historic record.
