Beau Jo's Colorado Style Pizza. The go-to stop for refueling. Thick- or thin-crust pizzas come with lots of toppings; frothy root beer arrives in mason jars; and the salad bar perches on an old claw-foot tub. Info: $; 1517 Miner St.; 303/567-4376.

SPECIAL HAPPENINGS
No excuses not to give it a go on Winter Trails Day, when snowshoe manufacturers cart vanloads of equipment to the frozen shores of Echo Lake and lend it out for free. Strike out on your own, or join small groups led by volunteer guides (10-3 Jan 6; 303/756-3100).
