Surrounded by the high peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park,
Colorado's largest natural lake couldn't be more picturesque. The town
was founded in 1881 and affects a rustic, Wild West vibe, with saloons
and a boardwalk along Grand Avenue. Embrace the theme by hitching a ride
on horseback with Sombrero Ranches, whose ranch hands will lead you
through alpine meadows, alongside clear mountain streams, and up steep
hillsides (970/627-3514, four hour rides $75 per person).
Where to Refuel: The chefs
at Sagebrush BBQ & Grill were taking advantage of local riches—Rocky
Mountain trout, elk, buffalo—long before it became trendy. 1101 Grand
Ave., 970/627-1404, entrées from $10.95.
