I was so excited for the opening of this lovely cafe. The former Vitrolite Tile showroom had such unique elements you’ll see blended into the modern cafe and the food was quite good! 

This all day cafe has Italian-inspired cafe dishes paired with coffee and spritz beverages and includes an aperitivo hour at 4pm that includes some bar snacks that switch up every couple days, a perfect start to your evening or an after work treat.

Check out their website for more details on parking and menu items.

6 epic and easy views you can see in Rocky Mountai 6 epic and easy views you can see in Rocky Mountain National Park!

✨Save for future visit✨

These epic views deliver with minimal effort because sometimes you don’t want to hike a few miles to be rewarded with breathtaking scenes.

📍Alluvial Fan: this spot has a very interesting history you can read about on site, it’s also very relaxing to listen to the rushing waters.

📍Hiking Bear Lake to Nymph Lake & beyond. It’s an easy hike depending on the season. We had partial snow so we rented spikes and poles. The views on the way up are dreamy. You can continue past Nymph to several other lakes if you’re up for it.

📍Sprague Lake is just a 30 minute drive from the park entrance and one of our favorite spots. Epic sunrises nature, and mountains-reflecting-in-water views.

📍Moraine Park is huge and within the National Park boundaries. The views are vast.

📍Driving Trail Ridge Road will take you as far as 12,000 feet above sea level 😳 with many stops along the way, this is a great way to enjoy the park. During winter it’s closed and opens gradually through mid- May once the snow melts enough. 

Intro screen: Many Parks Curve seen from Trail Ridge Road

Closing scene: View #6: 📍Glacier Creek at Prospect Canyon
