After a day of hiking and fresh air, you can unwind over some creekfront dining and live music at one of the local watering holes.

The quaint main street is brimming with artsy shops, eclectic boutiques, and welcoming restaurants, as well as a vibrant local music and theater scene.

Evans in the foothills of the Rockies, where a tranquil hike through the forest will reward you with plenty of wildlife encounters, plus stunning views of the waters cascading 76 feet off Maxwell Falls.
