This is a lovely little place next to the town grocery store. It is well known for its soups. We've had soup & grilled cheese there & would definitely return. Reasonably priced. Count on like $20 for two.

Hiking at Mount Sherman - 9700 4 Mile Creek Rd, Fairplay, CO
Easiest 14er located 6.8 miles east by south of the City of Leadville. You’ll start at 12,000 ft so it's only 2000 ft of elevation gain. The first half of the trail is an old mining road. The rest of the trail is also fairly developed. But don't be fooled, the easiest 14er is still a demanding hike, especially if you are not acclimated to the altitude. The climb rewards you with magnificent sweeping views of Leadville and the adjoining valleys to the west, Fairplay, and South Park to the east. There's a Y part way up the mining road, marked with a cairn. You’ll want to go to the right even though the left seems to be the more "obvious" path. Several mine sites to explore.

We've taken this hike & the views are beautifully filled with the prettiest & most colorful wildflowers!
The dirt road to get there can be a bit bumpy but it's well worth the drive. Some parts of the path are moderate in difficultly based on the rocks & trees and occasional steep slope. be sure to wear good hiking shoes. There's a creek alongside the path so it adds to the ambiance. It's very peaceful & you will only see a few fellow hikers.
