Delicious beer and nice patio with misters to keep you cool! The pineapple beer and the prickly pear sour were delicious! They didn’t have food when we came on Tuesday afternoon and suggested the arepas in the food truck outside but they were pretty pricey for 1 arepa. So we went to Dave’s hot chicken a few doors down. Would definitely come back!

Love the RiNo beer garden! Great beer selection and beautiful atmosphere in summer. When you’re walking up, from the looks of the building, it appears as if you’re walking into an old dive bar but then you are blown away by the beautiful patio. They have lots of misters to keep you cool and tons of TVs for games. Bring sunscreen because it’s very sunny. We watched the Ave’s play off game here. The service was super slow so I ordered drinks from the bar instead of the server because otherwise I would have been waiting an hour to get a beer. But to give the bar credit, our particular server sucked and the game was last minute since it was a playoff and their was a wedding event of some sort. Overall, I think they deserve 5 stars and I’ll reassess on my next visit.

Best pizza of my life! This was a beautiful restaurant under the shade of a tree and right on the water. It really helped us to cool off from the Avignon heat. We had good service and a wonderful experience. We didn’t have a reservation but we’re seated right away. We took the free water taxi back after lunch. I hope to come back some day!

This trail is so much fun! It was my first 14er and one I will never forget! It has amazing views from start to finish! In the beginning it starts out easy and is actually a little deceiving but once you get closer to the top, it’s pretty challenging but doable if you’re at a decent fitness level. I saw lots of families on the trail as well who went up a good ways and went back down. It’s easy to stop and turn around whenever you need to. When we were getting near the top, my lungs were definitely burning and had to make several stops but once we made it to the top it was phenomenal! Views all around and even some snow patches plus marmots at the top were hilarious and very curious. I would suggest you start early because the afternoons can have some rain in the summertime and we even got a tiny bit of hail on the way down. I seriously can’t say enough about this experience and I recommend it to all!
