My all-time favorite bar, The Cruise Room, is here. Historic Art Deco bar in the historic Oxford hotel next to Union Station downtown. Great classic cocktails. This place is as it has been since Prohibition. Booth seating, relaxed, not too noisy, and you can order food.

Easy day trip to the Continental Divide. Beautiful scenery. Stop at the summit to take a little walk in the area on the hiking trails. Very high elevation (about 11,000 feet) so be sure to bring water, and be prepared for rapidly changing weather year round. Including snow or thunderstorms at any time. Best in the morning. Severe weather tends to roll in around 3 pm in the summers.
