Silver Plume Grill

Chris and Kandy took ownership of the Silver Plume General Store in Pitkin, Colorado, during June 2012 after relocating from Texas. The couple brings decades of diverse professional backgrounds, including Chris’s experience in self-owned and commercial construction alongside work with special needs vocational programs, and Kandy’s background spanning veterinary services, education, and correctional clinical associations. Their thirty-two-year marriage led them to Colorado for its scenery and outdoor activities, culminating in the purchase of this local hub. The business provides lodging and essential supplies alongside practical guidance for visitors exploring the Gunnison National Forest region. Guests frequently utilize the store as a base for hiking, fishing, and ATV or OHV riding in the surrounding areas of Aspen, Buena Vista, and Gunnison. The owners prioritize offering friendly information to help travelers prepare for their adventures, having spent years since opening getting to know both neighbors and guests. The store serves as a resource for anyone needing supplies or advice while navigating the local landscape.
