Food Scene
If you want local color in a true Colorado western town: A favorite of locals & tourists. A great local place in Fairplay; breakfast or lunch; but get there early... closes at 2 p.m. and is closed Monday and Tuesday. Delicious food -- including Mexican food (small portions available) and delicious burgers with Colorado beef. Best bacon around for breakfast and terrific biscuits and gravy! Great service and good prices, too.

Oh my goodness! On the top of our list for summer and autumn! Stunning scenery of mountains. This unpaved pass between Como and Breckenridge is spectacular - undeveloped and gorgeous views. Great for mountain biking. I love to run (rocky, trail-like) down from the top to Breckenridge, about 8 miles. In fall, the aspen are stunning. Pass closes in winter. Great place to take photographs. Free!
