Beautiful town. Sad to see the fire and flood damage. I hope for the best for the town. Nice seeing elk and wild horses in the town.

"Very nice little city with so much to see."
Score
4.0 / 5
We come every few years for horse races but due to flooding we still came to support the city while trying to recoup from storms last couple of years. We visited other attractions while in the area and still had a nice vacation. Very nice little city with so much to see.

Aside from the hotel, Chuy's auto service did a fantastic job with our oil change. Farley's restaurant was one of the best: great food, awesome service and a fun atmosphere.
