Fuel/Snack Stops in Eastern Colorado

[iamtheari]

We usually fly a more direct route with a stop in western Colorado, but in case weather doesn't allow it I am planning an alternate path home (AZ to ND). The halfway point by miles is somewhere around Pueblo or Colorado Springs. I'm trying to find a place where we can get fuel without too much hassle (full serve or self serve, not picky, I just don't want to have to manhandle the plane back out of a tight spot when it's heavy), stretch our legs, walk our dogs a little, and ideally microwave some food we brought. Does anyone have PIREPs for airports in that vicinity where this would work out well for us?

Thanks for the tips. We ended up going via Grand Junction this time as usual, but we're hoping to make the trip again at least once or twice this winter and if we go around the east side I'll let you know with plenty of warning to make your excuses.
