Great Food...Great Fun!
Our Food is as Good as the Scenery!
Full Day Lunch
Picture a beautiful Colorado summer day on the banks of a Rocky Mountain river. Laughing kids playing on the banks of the river. Under the cottonwood trees your professional guides have set up a table and an umbrella and are busily preparing a scrumptious lunch.
- Ice cold lemonade
- Southwest salsa with enough flavor to let you know you are in the Southwest
- A FRESH fruit salad with pineapple, watermelon and honey dew
- A fresh deli salad
- A country roll or deli bread
- A spread of 4 deli meats and cheeses with all the fixin's cut up fresh
- A dessert pudding with mint cookies or fresh strawberries with chocolate
After lunch take a few moments to enjoy your family and visit with other guests. You are on "river time" with a whole day to enjoy.
Upper Animas Chow
Mountain Waters guides take great pride in dishing up the best food in Needleton (our camp on the Upper Animas). No computer menu here. The food is hand selected and purchased. The guides choose their own menu so it changes with each guide's specialty.
A Class V river requires a great lunch that survives a wild ride. Upper Animas lunches include:
- A spread of deli meats and cheeses
- Several kinds of bread
- Finger food to snack on while the guides cut up the fresh veggies
- Cookies for dessert
- Ice cold water and lemonade
You may get a chance to sample some of the fresh made deli sandwiches that guides specialize in.
Picture pulling into camp from a Class V river at about 4:00 in the afternoon. You are tired from paddling down the best Class V River in Colorado. As you pull in, you notice cold beer and soda in the river. The guides go to work making up fresh guacamole and salsa. Dinner is in a couple of hours so you have time to relax and enjoy the largest wilderness in the state of Colorado.
Your evening meal at the Needleton Bar & Grill could include:
- A fresh garden salad
- Steak and chicken teriyaki or grilled chicken with green chili and Jack Cheese
- Potatoes au gratin or rice in a cheese and broccoli sauce
- Dessert could be a Dutch oven baked chocolate cake with fresh whipped cream
Food never tastes better than in the great outdoors around a campfire!
Breakfast is a combination of good and cowboy traditional. The best part is that due to the train schedule, you can sleep in.
- Cowboy coffee, tea, and juice to get you started
- Fresh melon
- Scrambled eggs with a few surprise spices and veggies
- Cinnamon hot cakes
- Bacon or sausage
A Colorado morning couldn't start any better!
Half-Day Snack
A great healthy snack to get you through 'til your next meal.
- Ice-cold lemonade
- Fresh sliced cheese
- Fresh cut apples and maybe oranges
- Crackers
