Places to Get Ice Cream, Sundaes, Shakes, & More

In the Endless Mountains, we always brake for a roadside stand or a nostalgic ice cream parlor. There’s no better way to cool off after a day of adventures than kicking back and watching a sunset with a cone in hand.

Make some sweet summer memories at our local ice cream shops. Check out our list to find one near you.
