Parks & Nature

A nice drive up Sauk Mountain Road (a densely forested mountain road) up to the parking lot at 4400ft. From there you can enjoy the amazing views. Or, climb the addition 1100ft up the face of the mountain to get on top of the world and get some tremendous views...all the way out to the coast on a clear day.

Great local pizza place. The pizzas are made on a unique thin crust that is not doughy or fluffy, but also not thin like a cracker. Great for take out or dine in.

Awesome gluten free bakery. Let me first say I am not on the gluten free train and do not actively seek out gluten places or things. That said, they make some delicious baked goods and traditional breakfast fare. Worth a meal, gluten free or not.
