Bear Trap Cafe & Bar

We stayed at Cottonwood Cabins, just a short stroll from the Bear Trap. We went there for happy hour and dinner our first night, and ended up going three nights in a row! There were two servers/hosts during our visits, and both did an amazing job of getting you seated, taking orders, and bringing food out, all while being great to talk to. They made it fun to be there. Local beers were really good, we really liked the Speed Goat, a lighter beer with great taste. As for the food, we enjoyed everything we tried: gluten-free pizza, burgers, flank steak salad, prime french dip, and the hand-cut fries. One evening our server recommended that we snag a couple mini blueberry pies on our way out. We did, and they were fantastic! We love the Riverside/Encampment/Snowy Range area, and we'll definitely be back, and the Bear Trap will be part of the reason we return. Thanks, everyone!

Great food and Rudy is a gem! So grateful that they have quality gluten free options in such a remote area! We live about an hour away but will be coming here regularly.
