Very few of these delightful bubble tea shops outside of California and Seattle—only 5 across the US! Famous for their "salted cheese" topping on teas, and their to-die-for bubble waffles. Get one with puff cream!

City/town information
Our favorite little mountain town that's not a ski area. Cute shops, a cuter playground, and a nice visitor center. In the winter, there are car races on the frozen lake, and in the summer, the town is at one end of the breathtaking Guanella Pass, a gorgeous 22 mile drive through the Rockies.
