It's easy to see how the town of Buena Vista got its name. It's a "good view" from just about anywhere in the Buena Vista area. We didn't get to spend a lot of time in Buena Vista because we stayed the night in Salida, but we did get to enjoy the nearby ghost town of St. Elmo, have a nice dinner at the House Rock Kitchen, and watch a movie from our car at the Comanche Drive-in Theater.
House Rock Kitchen
After visiting the ghost town of St. Elmo, we drove into Buena Vista for dinner. Based on Yelp and TripAdvisor reviews, we decided to try House Rock Kitchen.
There was a line going from the counter to the small set of stairs outside the restaurant's main building for this restaurant that 5280 magazine has called "the fast-casual spot on Main Street" that "is the perfect post-adventure pit stop," but the line moved fairly quickly.
There is a large outdoor seating area at House Rock Kitchen and we chose to sit there. As large as it is, there were a lot of people eating, drinking, and socializing in that nice outdoor area, but we were able to find a table for two. The food was excellent.
Comanche Drive-In Movie Theater
After dinner, we drove to the Comanche Drive-in Theater.
We watched Disney's live action movie Cruella.
We had a portable radio to listen to the movie on while we watched it on the big screen in a beautiful natural environment. It had been a long time since we had watched a drive-in movie and we really enjoyed this mountain town drive-in experience.
