Though technically a suburb of Denver, Morrison is a world of its own. With its wide-open vistas and renowned mountain trails, the area attracts experienced outdoors enthusiasts as well as vacationing families. After a day of hiking, you'll find plenty of dining options on Bear Creek Avenue, the community's main strip. This street features everything from small cafes to American eateries. For a refreshing taste of history, enjoy some Colorado prickly pear cooler, a nonalcoholic local beverage said to have been a favorite for frontier-era fur traders. To partake in a uniquely Western dining experience, visitors can try Morrison's own "game plate" cuisine, which features fresh elk, buffalo and quail.
