We have new treats, merchandise, and construction updates to chat about today, so let’s get started!

Wilderness Lodge Food Update

We discovered two new fall treats during our visit to Roaring Fork! The Halloween Donut is covered in glaze, decked out in festive sprinkles, and topped with a super cute white chocolate-covered pretzel.

We really enjoyed this donut! It was flaky and airy, just like a Krispy Kreme donut. The pretzel was a bit stale, though. 🙁 While we didn’t necessarily need alll those sprinkles, kiddos will certainly love this adorable Halloween treat! You can get it for $2.19.

We also tried the Oktoberfest Cupcake, which is a dark beer chocolate cake with bittersweet cream filling and cinnamon buttercream. It’s topped with cinnamon candieschocolate beer pretzels, and a chocolate beer bottle!

The toppings were the star of the cupcake! We LOVED the cinnamon buttercream and the bittersweet cream filling blew us away. The flavors were just super unique, fall-like, and yummy! Annnnd we were happy to have a cupcake that wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet and that both looked good and tasted good.

We also noticed that Roaring Fork was featuring their new plant-based offerings on the menu, like the Zesty Slaw “Burger”. No longer available are the Vegetarian Pita and the Tuna Salad Sandwich.

Whispering Canyon Cafe has also updated its breakfast and lunch menus with the plant-based symbols, but their dinner menus were still printing during our visit.
