Laura ElizabethPretty for walking trails. Be careful, we got dehydrated within a couple hours! It was windy with a cooler breeze so it snuck up on us. Bring plenty of water and protein snacks.

K InsalacoNice quiet 2mi loop. Not too much tree cover and the path is mostly very soft sand. Lots of birds to hear and see. Trail markings were a little hard to spot but it's easy enough to find your way.

Ron WongThis place is very scenic and used to be an old mining site. The rocks and water make for fantastic footage. We went to get our RC cars a workout and had a blast. We will definitely be going back.
