Ice cream, gelato, and hot dogs in the Highlands

In Denver's peripheral Highlands neighborhood for the past 2 years, the Red Trolley is a worthy stop for sweet lovers and those who like to frequent cute neighborhood establishments. The gelato was incredible, with flavors that are both creative and full of high-quality product. My favorite on a recent visit was caramel topped with a chocolate ganache and sea salt. Red Trolley also serves up delicious and natural ice creams and hot dogs for those looking for more sustenance.

Red Trolley is a great place for kids. It's also a fun destination to walk to tucked in a cute neighborhood full of historic houses.
