Silver Plume Grill

Ownership of the Silver Plume General Store in Pitkin, Colorado, shifted to Chris and Kandy in June 2012 when the couple relocated from Texas. Their thirty-two-year marriage preceded this move, driven by a desire for Colorado’s scenery and outdoor activities. Chris brings decades of experience in self-owned and commercial construction, as well as work with special needs vocational programs. Kandy’s professional background spans veterinary services, education, and correctional clinical associations. 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.
