5 Ways to Fuel Your CO Adventures with Local Coffee + Snacks

There's nothing quite as thrilling as a day spent in Colorado outdoors. Whether hiking a trail, kayaking down a river, or skiing the slopes, there's nothing like being surrounded by natural beauty and fresh air. But even the most experienced adventurers must remember to pack enough snacks and drinks to keep them fueled throughout the day.

That's why making sure your adventure is fueled with the right food and drinks is key - because when you have the energy to keep going, you can make the most of your outdoor experience. And what better way to do that than with some delicious snacks and coffee from local Colorado shops?

Are you looking to plan the perfect Colorado adventure? Here are five ways to fuel your day with local coffee and snacks:

1. Pack a thermos of locally-roasted coffee.

Start your morning off right by packing a thermos full of fresh, Colorado-roasted coffee. This will give you the energy boost to tackle any mountain or trail.

And here at Mountain Dweller Coffee Roasters in Frico, we bring you the highest quality coffee beans from artisan roasters worldwide. With a full menu of your favorite espresso drinks and brewed coffees, you can find the perfect cup of joe to fuel your day.

We focus on sustainable and local sourcing, so you can trust that your cup of joe was made with care. And to make it even easier to get your caffeine boost, we are proud to roast, brew, and sell our coffee at our Frisco in Outer Range Brewing.  It is also available at some of your favorite local businesses like Wholefoods, Blue River Bistro, Bread & Salt, and Breckenridge Distillery. So snag your daily cuppa Joe and get on with your adventure!

2. Grab a quick bite from a local bakery or cafe.

Your hot thermos of coffee will get you on the right track. But if you want to go the extra mile, why not grab a quick bite from a local bakery or cafe? This way, you can get your hands on freshly-baked goods and other delicious snacks that will give you energy throughout your day.

Stop by Butterhorn Bakery to grab a few cookies and treats (or some great breakfast sandwiches and coffee) before you head out on your CO adventure. And if you're looking for something a bit more hearty, grab some of their delicious breakfast or lunch items- they have a fantastic selection of freshly-made meals!

Colorado Marketplace and Bakery in nearby Silverthorne has a delicious selection of homemade bread, pastries, and other snacks you can easily take on the trail. Plus, they even have grab-and-go options for those days when you don't have time to sit and enjoy a meal.

3. Stock up on food designed for convenience on the go.

Are you heading out on the rapids or on a bike ride? When you don't have access to a fridge or stove, stocking up on food designed for convenience is essential.

One of the best ways to buy Colorado is with Backpacker’s Pantry. This gourmet backpacking food is made with high-quality, nutritious ingredients that are lightweight and easy to transport. And it comes in various flavors so you can stock up on delicious meals like chicken tikka masala, chili macaroni, or vegan pad Thai. 

All you need to do is add hot water and enjoy! Take the worry out of packing and fill your bag with nutritious, delicious food.

4. Remember to bring something along for Fido!

Bringing your pup along is one of the best parts of adventuring in Colorado. But remember, Fido needs fuel too! The good news is that there are a variety of snacks and treats designed especially for doggies on the go.

Grab something from Zuke's line of trail-ready snacks explicitly designed for your pup's energy needs while they hit the trails. And with only natural ingredients, you can trust that these treats are healthy and delicious- just like all your other snacks! Made locally in Colorado, you can trust that you and your pup are only getting the best.

5. Remember to enjoy a craft beer when you finish your adventure!

Finally, remember to reward yourself with a cold, Colorado-brewed craft beer after finishing your adventure. This will be the perfect way to celebrate all of your accomplishments! So why not swing by a local brewery and grab a pint (or two!) of your favorite ale?

Outer Range Brewing Co. in Frisco is a great place to start- they specialize in hoppy IPAs, hazy Pale Ales, and flavorful Pilsners. And with their cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, you can be sure you'll want to stay awhile! (And here at Mountain Dweller, we proudly share a taproom with them!) 

As the local watering hole for Frisco, you will surely find a beer that your taste buds will love!
