Our food is authentic and made fresh daily from recipes around the world, and often with local produce, eggs and beef.

Phat Thai Restaurant 343 Main Street Carbondale, CO 81623 970-963-7001 www.phatthai.com/cdale/ |
Phat Thai is a casual and high-energy joint serving simple authentic Thai food. It’s a valley favorite with a burgeoning nightlife that has quickly become the center of the social orbit that is down valley. With grazing and sharing as requisite elements of the Thai experience, whether at the long steel covered communal table and bar or in the dining room, we encourage you to order a number of plates for your table and dine communally. |

WHAT TO DO DURING YOUR STAY?
Well besides catching programs during the festival, Carbondale has a lot to offer! Touted as one of the “Top 12 Towns” in the “50 Next Great Places to Live and Play” by National Geographic Adventure magazine, Carbondale is a great base camp for recreation enthusiasts. Resting in the magnificent shadow of 12,953-foot Mt. Sopris, there is plenty to do, including biking, hiking, gold medal fly-fishing, kayaking, and world class climbing.

Looking to go for a hike? Well you don’t have to go far! Just a mile or so from downtown Carbondale, you will find Red Hill/Mushroom Rock. This can be a great trail run, an easy hike, or even a great nature walk. Any way you do it though, you will end up with a spectacular view of Carbondale and Mt. Sopris! Feel free to check out other hikes in the area, but beware of lingering snow! If you are looking for another run, hop on the bike path or head up to Dry Park. |

A cyclist’s heaven here in Carbondale. Road biking? Cruise towards Glenwood Springs and Glenwood Canyon on the Rio Grande Bike Path, or head the up valley toward the infamous Aspen. Either way, you will have a blast! If the snow is melted and the trails are dry, hop on a mountain bike! Closest, although steepest is Red Hill, but you can also explore Prince Creek up the road; the world is your oyster! |
