5 min drive from our place! Great scenery! Great spot for some great pictures so close to town. You can spend a few minutes or a few hours depending on the amount of time you may have. There are plenty of trials to walk. Just follow the river and it will take you as far as you’ll let it take you.

It’s definitely the full experience and makes you see things you would have otherwise missed.
