The Mentone area is wonderful. I hate that the old hotel (and now the hitchin post) have burned down.

You've gotten good recommendations on food. I enjoy Wildflower's food but it is more geared towards women. Elevation is very good for upscale food. Canyon Grill is the best upscale food but it is a drive. If you go there, you may want to drive a bit farther and see if the hang-gliding school is taking people out. They have a jump off on the side of the mountain. It basically looks like a driveway off a cliff. Cool to see if people are going off.

The Hatter has great food as well. Mentone Market (pizzas/sandwiches) or the old Rubys (burgers) are good for more basic food. There are lots of little rentals along the brow towards Eagle's Nest and Georgia.

Enjoy!

That is one of my favorite places to eat hands down.

I went up to Mentone this summer and kept trying to figure out why it seemed like every establishment was designed by a person tripping on mushrooms.

Hippy Dippy libs, many of them, with a creative flair and desire to have a little mountaintop commune community.

If someone put in a BILLY RAY'S MANLY MEATY STEAKHOUSE & BREWS, I suspect there might be a ripple in their time-space warpzone. But it probably would go over pretty well, to be honest. Not sure how many brews it would take to fly over the brick wall into Valley Head but probably not many.

Now, if Grand GeeGee put in a tomato pie takeout she'd probably be welcomed with open arms until the Wildflower Mafia tossed her into the river.

Any body ever went skiing in Mentone? What are the options if you go….tubes, skis or snowboards?

It's been a long time, but I was surprised at the time at the amount of snow they had. I think it has to be below freezing for at least a couple of day straight for them to make snow. We haven't been up there since Irish Jr. was a kid, so maybe 13 years?
