Outdoor Adventure | Vibrant Downtown | Tourist Mecca
Spend just a day with us and you'll hear about our favorite nearby coffee shops, bistros and brewery's, all within close walking distance. Not surprisingly, the Feisty Pint, a block a half away, was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and you can find yourself in the Trail Life Brewery for a Patagonia sandwich, by simply stepping out the front door and crossing the street. A journey of less than 100 steps. This area is so well liked, an energetic Friday after work crowd comes in to enjoy the night life of this vibrant neighborhood.
A fitting bookend to the weekend, Monday mornings are often used to share details of the trail rides, ski runs, hikes, rock climbing, paddle boarding and other weekend adventures before jumping into the company wide team meeting to discuss current and future projects in a casual setting.
