Are they as greasy as the look?

especially the one on the left

and not that that’s necessarily a bad thing...

and points for the multiple salsas plus a skillet full of queso

Ok now I wanna play

1. Indian Peaks Wilderness
2. Fraser Experimental Forest
3. Crooked Creek Saloon

I was gonna put WP resort but that’s way too obvious to y’all, and besides, I barely even hang there any more

Mine were not greasy at all. Lots of salsas. Some are hot, but none are hot enough. I can go pretty crazy hot, and they just didn't get there.

Thank You.

For sure!

The Indian Peaks are some of the gnarliest alpine backcountry in the world. Assuming, in the spirit of the thread, that it’s up to me to decide what “within 20 min of house” is, I count it cuz the wilderness itself can be accessed via trailhead a block from my house.

The experimental forest has a campground, lots of trails, and public access to St. Louis creek where Eisenhower spent his summers fishing.

The creek has happy hour 3-7 every day, 12-5 on Sundays. 75 cent wings!

Indian Peaks:

St. Louis Creek, with Byers Peak in the background. That's a good 12'800 intro to mountaineering.

ETA if you think that creek looks unnaturally low, that's because it is. Fuck you Denver Water.

Creek wings. Buffalo, BBQ, or garlic butter, with ranch or blue cheese:

I'm sure it's stuff I just don't know(which is just about everything about the high country), but I thought Indian Peaks Wilderness was over by Rollinsville?

so there's here's two parts to the Crooked Creek experience:

there's "creekside," which is this kind of respectable sit down restaurant for y'all, and where those fancy ass tk countertops are installed.

and there's "saloon side," this legit old timey saloon with wooden bars and wooden floors and a pool table and juke box too. This is the side you should go, where the locals hang, and where the legend of Rosie lives on...

it is.

but like I said, can be accessed via trailhead a block from my house.

I like Brainard Lake, Blue Lake, etc. That's a great park. And easy for people that don't live at elevation.

Mex food around Plano's residence?

1) MesoMaya...Yucatan style food, amazing bar.

2) Blue Goose Cantina. Good food, amazing margs.

3) Gloria's. If you reside in, or someone who know's took you....I don't need to say more.

MesoMaya:

That looks good, but have a hard fine eating that much chile all at once. Texture.

When I was a little kid my dog ate a bunch of my crayons. That resembles her vomit and diarrhea.
Just sayin'.

Top 3 fancy restaurants.

Portland ME and surrounding

1. Central Provisions
2. Eventide
3. Fore St

That's a plate from plano's favorite Mexican spot, not mine.
