• Knickerbocker's Deli – Longtime neighborhood staple for sandwiches and soups. The spot you'll hit after a morning in the canyon.
• The Hog Wallow Pub – Rustic vibe, live music, and the place locals gather when they're not on the mountain.
• Alpha Coffee – Veteran-owned, mountain-fueled coffee. Grab-and-go before the trailhead.
• Lone Star Taqueria – The post-ski ritual. Everyone ends up here after a day in the canyons for fish tacos and the kind of casual vibe where showing up in ski gear is completely normal.

• The Shops at Fort Union – Your go-to for everyday shopping, dining, and services.
• The Gear Room – Local outdoor shop for ski, climbing, and trail gear. Support local before you hit REI.
