Now, as a native Floridian, the idea of getting to a restaurant by trekking up a snowy mountain does not immediately
appeal to me. The Denver Post, however, recently ran a review of three Colorado restaurants that ask diners to
do just that. Some of the restaurants, like Copper Mountain
Stables, also offer sleigh rides to their high-elevation dining rooms. In Copper Mountain Stables' case, the dining
room is a replica of a miner's tent that seats 38. Similarly, the Tennessee Pass Cookhouse features a large yurt (pictured here)
that seats 40. Prior to arrival, diners gather together and hike up to the structure, which sits at an elevation of
over 10,000 feet. The Pine Creek Cookhouse, amazingly
enough, is an actual cabin, which seats 100. You can choose to ski, sleigh, or snowshow the 1.5 mile trail to your
dinner. As you might expect, menus for all of these places feature hearty, game-heavy fare.
