The Shop: Along beautiful Highway 36 between Boulder and Estes Park is the family owned Colorado Cherry Company. This roadside shop is famous for it's cherry pies, ice cream and yummy coffee. Lunchtime? Get a homemade chicken pot pie.

The Route: This 75 mile route starts in the community of Pinewood Springs, well outside Lyons, but shares the address. Take Highway 36 with an amazing approach into the village of Estes Park. Stop in the Stanley Hotel and visit the Cherry Company's other location inside the hotel. Enjoy your latte on the vast hotel porch with a view to the Continental Divide. From Estes, link to Highway 7, the Peak to Peak Highway, a slowly winding road with views, views, views!!!

From Highway 7, turn at Highway 72. Watch carefully for the cut off to Ward on the left which takes you down Lefthand Canyon. A very steep switchback takes you through "downtown" the Ward, then East downhill, reaching Highway 36. Turn left on Highway 36 back to Lyons, then back to Pinewood Springs.
