Jasper Lake\u2019s mayor, Gabe Brandt, dishes on what it\u2019s like to live in a small mountain town and what makes his hometown so special:<\/p>\n

1. According to its residents, what\u2019s the best thing about Jasper Lake, Colorado?<\/strong>
\nThe sense of community. We may argue, and I can\u2019t deny that there\u2019s gossip sometimes, but when the chips are down, everyone comes together to help, whether it\u2019s after a death in someone\u2019s family or a new baby. It\u2019s the thing that took me the longest to get used to when I moved here as a teen and the thing that I now love most as an adult. Sure, people might get into your business, but for the most part, it\u2019s just because everyone cares about each other.<\/p>\n

2. Where\u2019s the best place to watch the sunset in Jasper Lake?<\/strong>
\nLookout Point, which of course the kids have always called Make-Out Point. From there you can see the whole town, the lake, and the miles of forest.<\/p>\n

3. What\u2019s one Jasper Lake tradition?<\/strong>
\nWe love our bonfires\u2014in the fall and winter when the fire danger isn\u2019t so high, of course. Our annual Pumpkin Festival has food, fun, and an enormous fire at the park . . . originally begun by our founder with the waste from the building process of local homes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. The dinner spot Jasper Lake locals would recommend to visitors is?<\/strong>
\nPine View Cantina. It\u2019s not fine dining, but I can guarantee it\u2019s the best barbecue you\u2019ve ever had. They even serve locally sourced and made wild game sausage, like elk, venison, and boar.<\/p>\n

5. Where\u2019s the best place to go on an outdoor adventure?<\/strong>
\nIn the summer, hit the lake in a rowboat, motorboat, or sailboat. In the winter, rent a snowmobile and explore the dozens of miles of trails around town.<\/p>\n

6. What\u2019s one word you would choose to describe Jasper Lake?<\/strong>
\nCharming.<\/em> Once I would have said quaint, but progress comes to even the farthest corners . . . Even as the town develops beyond its rural roots, we\u2019ve tried hard to keep the charm of the mountain setting and all the things that make Jasper Lake a great place to live.<\/p>\n

7. What\u2019s the most-ordered drink at your beloved watering hole, Main Street Mocha?<\/strong>
\nOoh, that\u2019s a tough one. Delia\u2019s known for her Latin Mocha, but the non\u2013coffee drinkers swear by her Lake Fog tea latte.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8. What\u2019s your favorite place to take Kendall for a date in town?<\/strong>
\nKendall has really become an outdoor girl\u2014she loves her picnics. I like to surprise her by packing a basket and taking her to a part of the mountains around us that she hasn\u2019t explored yet.<\/p>\n

9. In that case, where is the best place for a picnic?<\/strong>
\nOther than Make-Out\u2014ahem, Lookout\u2014Point, there are lots of quiet inlets and nooks on the lake where you can enjoy the peace and quiet, especially if you\u2019re willing to hike. It\u2019s a large lake and the craggy footprint means there\u2019s miles of shoreline to explore.<\/p>\n

10. What would Kendall say is her favorite thing about Jasper Lake?<\/strong>
\nKendall would say that her favorite thing about Jasper Lake is me. But if it honestly came down to choosing between me and Delia\u2019s coffee, I think she\u2019d probably choose Main Street Mocha. Do not get between Kendall and her caffeine!<\/p>\n
