Local favorite for friendly burger, beer and more.

Leave early and check the weather before heading out. The trail is not very mountainous and can be maneuvered by a 10 year old, so it is an excellent family hike; just choose how far you want to go on it. Would check snow conditions there before heading for the trail.
