Food Scene

We haven't heard if the lariat is opening back up or not.... call ahead.. Unfortunately, the Lariat is temporarily close right now. We love the carrot tacos here and the great draft beer selection. They have live music on weekends and the atmosphere is the best. Outdoor seating too :) https://thelariatbv.com/

This place good for FAST FOOD and coffee. They even have a drive through window (call your order enroute to avoid a wait). The food isn't amazing but it's fast and reliable for breakfast and quick bites on the way to a BV adventure. http://www.panchosbuenavista.com/

Yummy "healthy food" that is a bit pricey for BV, but their Happy Hour is decent (4-6 pm) and the outside seating it great. Great selection of craft beer. (Also great for kids as they have games and activities outside that will keep them occupied for hours.) http://www.houserockkitchen.com/

Ice Cream shop (hard scoop), including one kind of coconut based/non dairy ice cream. A great courtyard to enjoy your ice cream too :)

The Roastery is on Main Street (not sure why google is showing wrong location). It's a big orange stucco building downtown. This is the place to go for roasted coffee to bring home or for wifi and a cup of fresh brewed coffee. They have a very light breakfast menu too.

Drinks & Nightlife

Great selection of craft beer and wine (1/2 off bottles of wine on Wednesdays). This bar is in the original BV jail and has a ton of character. This is Joe's favorite bar in BV and we think you will love it too. http://www.thejailhousebv.com/

Everything Else

We love the hot springs! If you are trying to save some money, this is an excellent way to do so there - "locals special $10 for a class and a soak" (otherwise it's $45!) https://mtprinceton.com/colorado/yoga-fitness-classes/

Beautiful drive up to this ghost town. This is a small no thrills ghost town but worth a drive up before or after visiting the hot springs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elmo,_Colorado

Parks & Nature

The BV riverpark is a great starting point for a short hike with some great valley views. There is hiking and mountain biking that begins here. You can take a 20 min stroll here and or hike/bike for hours. We recommend climbing sleeping Indian to the top. (2.5-3 hours round-trip). httpss://www.buenavistaco.gov/2164/Trail-Descriptions

Beautiful lakes on way to Independence Pass (route to Aspen). There is a "beach" where you can picnic and enjoy the scenery or go swimming/paddling/etc.
