Canyon Loop trail specifically- Can be busy. 7 dollars when guard on duty. Best during the week. Great for the sunset and if the stream is flowing you are in luck! Dog friendly and approved.

Think Saguaro Cactus Forest. Dreamy. The sun is no joke here so it would be best to go on a day with a few clouds or low temps. Also Julia approved!

Brunch/breakfast
Local favorite. Their Thai Fighter cocktail is my go to. Often a bit of wait and no reservations. If you’re over waiting try Blue Willow, St. Philip's Plaza, Postino or Snooze. They are all close by.
