Old Downtown Evergreen – Denver’s 90 Days of Summer

by Kimberly Beethe Byers on September 3, 2010

in 90 Days of Denver Summer

It is going to be a gorgeous weekend so you may want to take advantage of some great hiking trails and restaurants that are located just outside of Denver, in the town of Evergreen. There are so many hiking trails to choose from and click here for a great website that will give you more detailed info about all of the trails and how to get there. One of my favorite things to do this time of year is head up to Evergreen to go hiking and then go to downtown Evergreen and go to the the Little Bear Saloon. If you like a good burger, live music and a great dive bar, then you’ll love the Little Bear! This is honestly one of the best dive bars in Colorado. The live music is great and one of Denver’s most popular bands, Opie Gone Bad, is playing this Saturday. It’s sure to be a fun afternoon/evening at the Little Bear. If dive bars aren’t your thing then you may want to try the wine bar across the street, the Creekside Winery. Here you can enjoy a great glass of wine and cheese plate while sitting out of the flower box filled balcony that looks out at the river. Or BeauJo’s Pizza is just down the street from the winery and they also have a wonderful patio overlooking the river.

Whatever you decide to do this weekend, enjoy and be safe. Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!

Loving life in Denver!
