Sightseeing

Nice hike with a great stop at the hot springs. Mid week and early are best to catch them empty.

The hot springs itself are great. If you walk down the rv road that runs off the parking lot, there is a path that goes along the creek. This will lead you to the true natural hot waterfall and springs. Go midweek or early to have it to yourself

Absolutely amazing views. Can be a quick turn around hike. But if you are doing the full hike, expect a few hours and bring enough water

Food scene

Probably my favourite place to end a day. Check out their random fun nights. Dancing on weekends. Kids allowed until 9pm. Great food! Ben at the door will make you feel like you are Norm from Cheers, and make sure to try their Viking drinking game.
