Best Breakfast Tacos in Town!!
You may have heard, breakfast tacos are a "thing" here. Torchy's are top notch. $5 and you'll be stuffed! Even better is they're available all day! If you like spice, be sure to ask for the Diablo sauce. The queso is delicious too...

Parks & Nature
Beautiful place to go on a long walk or run along the river. Great place to hang out with the locals, play with their dogs, drink some beer, and swim in the waterfall fed pools.
*Late summer the river dries up, but it's still beautiful, and the tree covered trail is a perfect for getting out of the heat.
