The Trailhead Reviews

This is one of our first stops when we get to Buena Vista, great gear, knowledgeable staff, courteous help and cold beer! I love this place.

The Trailhead is doing things right through the pandemic. They have maintained the highest standards of safety while remaining open for take out food and safe shopping. Thank you Trailhead for being an excellent commercial partner. I will definitely do everything I can to support you.

The store is a wonderful collection of outdoor goods for hiking and camping. They have a good variety of clothes, shoes, and equipment. The process are a little high but you can purchase everything in one spot and have it for immediate use. The staff where very knowledgeable and helpful. There is a restaurant here also but were not hungry at the time we visited the store.

If you dont mind paying high prices this is the place for you. It is my opinion that unless you have unlimited daddies money, wait for their end of season sales or don't bother Must wear flannel, flatbills, beards and have a pretentious atitude to shop here. Come to think of it, my opinion is they should rename the whole building daddies money.

Great place. Very welcoming staff. We were traveling from out of town and came into the gear shop. Walker was extremely helpful in assisting us when trying to find places nearby to go climbing.

Horrific prices. The absolute highest prices for any out door gear that youre looking for. Staff very rude and stuck up. From here you are better suited getting your outdoor materials in either Denver or Salida. Food is mediocre at best. You can tell for sure its the only place in town by the way they do their pricing. 0/10 would never go again

I stop at The Trailhead every time I'm in the region. I'm something of an 'out of town regular'. I've found what I needed there and got help from friendly staff when I needed the help. I shopped there before they moved to their current location, and I will shop there again! And again!

All the outdoor goodies found here! Excellent map selection.

Nice mountain-fancy place for food and clothes. Premium prices for both, but worth it if you value such things.

Worst customer service! Spent 20 minutes in the store and not one associate asked if we needed assistance. Noticed that other patrons were also ignored and they ended up leaving as well. Do not recommend entering this store.

Fantastic shop. Great selection of anything you need ranging from gear to maps. Mountaineers will find most anything they need as well so if you forget anything trailhead has you covered. Also they will take your spent propane cans so take em here dont throw them away!

Oh my this place is so overwhelming. I'd rather leave it to the well off 20 year old's

They have almost everything you need for backpacking climbing cycling.

Great food, only 6 or 7 items on the menu, portions rather small, but they nail it!!

Good food but overpriced. Needs to offer locals discounts. More affordable places for same type food in Aspen

Sweet location, selection and people! Grab the amazing burger on the other side of the store while you are in there as well!

This place is great! They always have what I need, and they have awesome sales on a lot of their products.

I found the maps I was seeking plus so much more for my outdoor experience in BV.

This a fantastic outdoor store in Buena Vista's downtown. They have great gear and had the last minute mountain bike rentals we needed. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly as well!

High end/pricey outdoor equipment if that is what you need. Very helpful staff. Appreciated the attention

Great shoes salesman. New trail running shoes working great.

Gave us tips for where to climb in town. Great spot for gear.

Love this place ! Great food! Quality attire and sports-anything you need ! Staff is nice and professional! Found exactly what I was looking for thanks to super helpful staff. Thanks guys! Love BV!

Been going to this store for 14 years...great selection for a small store and very knowledgeable owners/workers who know the local trails and needs...

I climb the 14ers and everyone in the store has good information about routes and Ideas on other fun hikes. They have a good selection of maps, and climbing gear. I loved the atmosphere. There is also a cafe if you want coffee or a salad. Love the people. Love the atmosphere. Love the store.

Decent selection for a smaller store in the mountains. Staff was helpful, and there is a foodery on one side, but I'm not sure what they served.

Went in to buy a new pair of hiking boots. No one ever offered to help/assist. The clerk behind the counter looked at me, then answered
the telephone and became engrossed in a lengthy conversation. Went elsewhere.

The Trailhead is a trendy restaurant and storefront that also has frozen yogurt. It s my favorite place to have dinner after a day on the lake. The service has always been prompt and friendly, and the food is excellent. Living in Colorado, you find that many mountain town restaurants either let the service side and food quality fall to the wayside since they are one of only a few options, or have exorbitant prices for fine dining. The Trailhead is a diamond in the rough; affordable but quality food with top notch service and because of this they always earn my business again!

Awesome place for anything camping, hiking, or biking. I'm quipment to buy or rent and a helpful staff.

Favorite gear shop around. Stop here everytime I'm in BV

All the gear you need for any climbing or camping/backpacking adventure in and around BV. Typical Patagonia and Prana prices. Worth stopping no matter what you are into.

I purchased a few items from this store; they helped me get through my outdoors job duties done with less of a hassle! I ordered an inflatable & solar powered light, water bottle, sunscreen, and sturdy pants for hiking and working on trail.

Was camping and didn't listen to my friends when they said to pack like its winter. So, i bought an emergency blanket. The staff was helpful in finding what i needed, only spent $2, and was back at the campsite not dying of hypothermia that night.

Not only does this place have an excellent selection of clothing and outdoor equipment, they also have one of my favorite soup and sandwich shops in the whole area. The food there is extremely well prepared and uniquely tasty.

Stopped by the cafe for lunch on our way to Glennwood, my dad and I instantly fell in love with the angus burger. That burger was an excellent personification of the Colorado Mountains, full of flavor and beyond satisfying, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a quick and amazing lunch and dinner.

It was a very nice mom and pop motel. Roomy and clean, good beds, shower and TV. No breakfast though.

Kicked me out and would not let me shop because I wouldn't wear a mask. I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing a mask safely and I explained that to the employee....I was still kicked out. Too bad, we would have spent a lot of money. It's time to start boycotting this mask and businesses need to be on the right side of freedom. This is America. Never coming back and will never eat the food next door.

Great service and a solid selection. The prices are a bit high but they have such wonderful service it's worth it

This store saved our camping trip. We had to repack quickly after another trip & ended up needing some things we had forgotten to bring or didn't bring enough of. A woman helped me find some pants that ended up fitting even though they were not my usual size. She convinced me to try them on & they are so nice!

Friendly and very helpful. Rented a TREK MTB for 2 days and rode it hard with no problems at all. Bike was setup just as I had asked. Staff tried to order a special camping item for me but it was discontinued by the manufacturer so they called their local hardware store trying to find it for me. Amazing personal service. Give them a try!

Paid $15 for a Caesar salad with chicken. Ended up waiting for 20 minutes for something I could have made at home. At least they didn't charge me for the dressing haha.

This place is great. I went in for some obscure items and they had both. Super knowledgeable, and very friendly. None of the elitest attitude you sometimes get in mountain towns.

The Staff at trailhead are really nice and willing to help at all times. We drove from Austin Texas to hike 14ers around BV. Had no clue which hike or trails to take .. Jonathan and some other staff members were really helpful and gave us really good information and recommendations on where to go and what to hike while in BV.

Great little store and the food was amazing!!!! The bread was awesome and fresh!!! Bought a cute shirt and some bike shorts too!!
