Good food and local brews and a cool spot to hang out. There’s also a bit of history to the bar and the two different sides to the restaurant - ask the hosts or bartenders for more!

The view is great and there’s great food and beer to go with it. Sit outside and you get the perfect view of the mountains, lake and no road noise. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Hiking
Top hiking place. Loch Lomond is right next door for a less crowded but similar hike. Loch Lomond also has some 4-wheeling trails. Download Alltrails app for directions and surrounding trails!

The only 14ner you can basically drive to the top. The drive is stunning and there are usually lots of goat and ram sightings. There’s also lots of hiking all around here - download the alltrails app and see!
FYI the drive all the way to the top closes in early September. You can still get pretty close for another month or so after that and all the trails are still open but due to snow and road safety risks they only open the road to the top during the summer. Pro-tip: go during a weekday to avoid weekend traffic!

Although it’s not in Idaho springs, it is close and you should go if you can. See the amphitheater made of red rocks and hike around the area. It’s beautiful.
