Giant Hot Dog!

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

When you head out of Denver on Hwy 285 you pass through the small town of Bailey that is home to this hot dog stand shaped like a hot dog. It is a great place to stop for a quick bite on your way from or to various mountain locations. This place combines my love for dodgy tourist attractions and A&W-style coney dogs. Hey, you are on your way to climb a 14er, have a snowshoe adventure, or some other serious activity so you deserve it!

We were cross country skiing on Saturday, here are some photos.
