And one of the places we thought was really kitschy was a place called Frontier Town. I'm not sure if it was truly an old mining town turned into a tourist spot or if it was built that way. It's on McDonald Pass and there is a restaurant built into the side of the mountain, if I remember correctly. I remember having walk up a rock, cave like stairway to get to the restaurant. There is a bar in the lower level like cave that used to serve some kick ass soups!

Here's a link to the place. We hope to visit again one day - this time with out kids.
