McDonald's
The familiar golden arches offering quick breakfast, burgers, and coffee with drive-thru convenience.
McDonald's needs no introduction. The Canon City location provides the same menu, prices, and quick service you expect from the world's most recognized fast-food chain. For travelers, there is comfort in familiarity, especially when traveling with children who know exactly what they want. The breakfast menu is available in the early morning, serving Egg McMuffins, hotcakes, and hash browns for those who want to fuel up before a day of adventure. The McCafe coffee program means you can also get a decent latte or cappuccino without hunting down a specialty coffee shop. The drive-thru is particularly convenient for visitors who want to grab food without leaving their car. Pick up breakfast on the way to your rafting put-in, or grab a quick lunch between the Royal Gorge and your next activity. Free WiFi and indoor seating provide a place to rest, recharge devices, and regroup during busy days of sightseeing. The play area gives kids a chance to burn energy during a meal break.
