Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 2.9 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Cheyenne instead of crossing town between them. L'Osteria Mondello is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Holliday Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, adults, and solo who want a planned Cheyenne outing without improvising between stops.
