RELAXATION IN BATTLEMENT MESA, COLORADO

Overview

Quote:

Battlement Mesa is a large community based on housing developments just off I-70. The exact location is considered more to be Parachute but residents prefer to say they live in Battlement. It is a family-oriented environment where neighbors know each other's names, have children who play together and recognize the family dog. Its a place to relax, a place to raise a family or just to get back to nature. IT has certainly built up in the last five years and they are still growing.

The Outlaw

Restaurant

Quote:

The Outlaw is a great little family establishment, serving breakfast all day long or burgers and fries, or a steak. It has arcade games for the kids, a back room for parties, events and get-togethers. The food is great, the service is fast and quick, the atmostphere is rustic and the price is right! I've been here quite a few times, and never left feeling deprived of money or of a good meal.

Attraction

There is a Fish Hatchery at the base where children can come and feed the thousands of fish within the manmade pool. Bring plenty of quarters for the kids. Travel further up the road and find parking. Then you can walk to the bridge and follow one of two paths - to either explore caves and or to walk a trail. There are two beautiful waterfalls and the landscape is picturesque for picnicking and family fun.
