Trails End
About
Trails End is the tacos-and-tapas restaurant inside Lion Square Lodge, steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola in Lionshead. Its deck looks up at Vail Mountain and across Gore Creek, which makes it an easy first stop coming off the hill.
It suits families and groups of friends who want a lively room and a long menu to share, and anyone looking for a daily après deal in Lionshead.
The menu
Tacos run from Nashville hot chicken and quesabirria with consommé to blackened mahi-mahi and a charred cauliflower option. Around them are shareable plates such as shishito peppers, chips with house salsas, queso and guacamole, nachos, ceviche and wings, plus burgers served with curly fries, and salads. Kids have their own menu, and a tres leches cake closes things out.
The bar and après
The bar leans on tequila and mules, with margaritas, smoked old fashioneds and Manhattans, and Colorado draft beers. Après runs every afternoon with discounted tacos, draft beer, house wine, spritzes and margaritas, and there is live music every week. Times and prices are in the FAQ below.
Groups and events
The large deck and the dining room can host an après party, a business dinner or a reception. Parties of 20 or more, and private events, go through the restaurant's group request form.
Before you go
Trails End is open daily from late morning into the early evening. Reservations for 2 to 12 people are taken by phone.
