Great lunch or dinner spot. We usually sit outside because they have a playscape and shade! Burgers are great - cold beer and full bar too. They sometimes have live music on weekends too, out on the front patio.

Parks & Nature
One of the highlights of this area! Reservations required so check it out online. Breathtaking scenery! Requires a moderate hike to the 'pool' which is actually a natural pool that was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion thousands of years ago.
