About
Breakfast burritos and strong coffee at La Colina are the easiest reason to stop at Trailhead Lodge, on Stanley Avenue a block or so from the Visitor Center. The kitchen leans on Colorado farms and small producers for a mostly hand-held, Mexican-leaning menu, and tacos plus a tequila and mezcal bar take over on dinner nights. Seating is indoors or out.
The lodge was the Trailborn until recently and is the sister property to The Outpost, whose late arrivals collect their keys here. Guests get a seasonal outdoor pool, a campfire with s'mores and guided outings through local partners, and downtown is close enough to walk or bike. Talk about the rooms is mixed, centering on upkeep, the common areas and the change in ownership, so read the room details closely before booking.
