One more stop. Dinner taken care of.
TO-GO FOOD
Why Stop?Boots off. Skis packed. Everyone’s hungry. Pick up something good in Clear Creek before heading home, and let a local kitchen handle the cooking after your day on the mountain.
Bring back a pizza for the family, barbecue to share, or something warm for an evening in comfortable clothes. You’ve already made the memories. Dinner can be the easy part.
AFTER THE LAST RUN
Let the mountain day end with a good meal.
Stopping for takeout gives everyone a chance to stretch, pick up dinner, and settle the “what are we eating?” conversation before getting home. Staying nearby? Bring your order back to the cabin and enjoy another evening together.
Check the restaurant’s pickup estimate before ordering. Place your order while parked or let a passenger handle it, then collect your food at the confirmed time.
EMPIREBurgers now. A little sweetness, too.
Make a stop in Empire for burgers and a treat to take along. Takeout is available, making this an option for a meal break when your route brings you through town. Check current hours and ordering arrangements before heading over.
