Sadly, this place closed in 2022(?) Maybe they'll re-open but I'm losing hope. Otherwise, I tell everyone this: Just go... this could also be listed under "Sight Seeing". It is just under 40 miles from my home and absolutely worth the trip (even if you don't eat at the restaurant!)

Loosiana cuisine, in Denver's back yard. They started over 20 years ago, in a little storefront in a nearby strip mall... and have made their way to a bigger location (probably because everyone likes their cookin'!)

Get Outdoors!

Living near the Hogback, the South Platte river, the Highline Canal trail, Waterton Canyon, Chatfield Reservoirs, and more, makes for plenty of choices... it all depends on your time and interests!
A very popular spot on weekends. Note that there are two parking lots, in case the one near the trail head fills up, which it can. The "second" one is a little north of the closer/main parking lot (and on the same side of the road). Go to (hopefully) see big horn sheep! Check out one of my sightings https://youtu.be/I5YIX4HNZpk
