Hikes
A stunning quick hike with panoramic views. The full hike is only 1.5 miles round-trip and only 1 mile if you just go to the lake and bike. TOTALLY worth the views! The hike is relatively easy but be prepared to step over rocks and boulders. $5 Parking Fee. Great year round! (check weather during winter months).

Enjoyed year round, this is a VERY easy hike good for all ages. Its flat, and right off of the road so there is no hiking necessary to capture the beautiful views.
