Tennessee Pass Cookhouse

Tennessee Pass Cookhouse is a backcountry restaurant near Leadville, Colorado, set in a solar-powered yurt about a mile from the Tennessee Pass Nordic Center. Guests ski, snowshoe or hike in through the San Isabel forest for lunch, brunch or dinner, and the menu changes with the seasons. The cookhouse describes its meals as handmade and family friendly.

Brunch choices include a bison burger with a fried egg, Wagyu steak and eggs, an open-faced elk sausage sandwich, stuffed French toast and an avocado toast with Leadville mushrooms. Meals are by reservation only, with online ordering and catering also available. The same property offers cross-country skiing and overnight sleep yurts, and the cookhouse is not reachable by car.
