Breakfast at Silver Grill is a must. It's the best breakfast spot in town. There's almost always a wait, but they provide free coffee and have a make-your-own bloody mary bar. Silver Grill is the oldest restaurant in Northern Colorado, they've been in operation since 1933. Their cinnamon buns are famous, you have to get one!

Rocky Mountain is located about an hour from Fort Collins but absolutely worth the drive. Multiple hiking trails provides everyone, regardless of fitness level, an opportunity to see some of the stunning mountain views Colorado is famous for. During the summer months, we recommend getting up early to beat the crowds and driving along Trail Ridge Road, one of ten America's Byways in Colorado and a national designated All American Road.
