Sightseeing

One of our local gems. Great for walking around, renting a paddleboard (SUP), paddleboat or a canoe in the summer. The lake is also a fun place to ice skate in the winter! You can rent ice skates there.

Our downtown Evergreen is a wonderful place to walk, shop, and eat. Count the elves on the mural near Baskin Robins along the creek.

For concerts- but other fun too! A truly beautiful, memorable, and historic place. There are some hiking trails, and many use the amphitheater for workouts in the morning/during the day.

City advice

Getting around

If someone flashes their brights at you while driving....

It's likely that there is wildlife close to the road- go slow and use caution. This is a frequent occurrence in Evergreen. If there's a traffic jam in town, it's often due to a herd of elk leisurely crossing the road.
Customs and culture

Evergreen is a relaxed mountain town.

Most restaurants and bars close on the early side in the evening, with Cactus Jack's and Little Bear staying open the latest.
