About the Frontier Shack
The Hotel Pattee's Frontier Shack is a
tribute to the original Frontier Shack, a dining car on the "City of
Denver" train that ran from Chicago to Denver.
Train history is a
large part of the Hotel Pattee. In David's Milwaukee Diner, the dining
areas are inspired by a railroad depot restaurant.
The expansion
of the bike trails in Iowa as a result of Rails-To-Trails, created a
natural connection as Hotel Pattee expands its food service to the High
Trestle Trail in order to connect the ideas of railroads , cycling and
history.

About Flat Tire Lounge
The
Flat Tire Lounge is only 3 miles from the High Trestle Trail and offers
a great atmosphere to hang out with other cyclists and enjoy a cool
refreshment (or two).
The Flat Tire Lounge was started by 10
local friends and opened June 2011. The building was originally an old
feed store when the train tracks were in. The inside was remodeled
featuring a unique bar counter top made with concrete and broken wine
bottles polished down for a smooth finish. Their main attraction is
there 800 square foot deck that is less than 12 feet from the High
Trestle Trail. Over the last few years, we have made many friends and
had plenty of great times!
