8/10 Very Good! (1,045 reviews)
Food in restaurant not great - raw patty. Food in late night cafe awful with terrible service. Stir fried rice was raw / hard - like it came out of a bag - putting raw rice in hot oil is not how you make fried rice - it does not work that way. Broke a tooth. Wasted money - no refund or credit. Entire meals were awful. Limited machines. Needs updating. Prices too high for experience.

Nice place to walk/hike but it rained most of my time in Colorado.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Too many drunk boaters on weekends and lots of rain all through summer ruined the beaches,

Taking in the view. We spent about 5 hours this April hiking Horsetooth Mountain Park with our dog, Loki, and I had the sunburn to prove it... Still count this as one of my top travel experiences so far. #hiking #zen
