Food Scene
The Wildflower is a cozy cafe that has been a foothills breakfast mainstay for decades! They have a variety of mimosas and bloody Mary's and on Thursday nights they team up with a local chef and offer sushi! Wildflower's huevos rancheros are my favorite! (If you have to wait for a seat at Wildflower I suggest popping over to Muddy Buck--Wildflower is relaxed about outside beverages.)

Evergreen Lake is gorgeous! There is an idyllic ice skating rink in the cold months and in the summer there are stand up paddle boards and paddle boats available for rent. You can walk around the lake, but the trail is not ideal for bikes. Evergreen Lake is just across the street from downtown Evergreen's boardwalk, so it's convenient to take a stroll after lunch or grab a coffee after your nature walk. The hotline has information on events and conditions: 303-880-1391
