This is the best place in town for donuts! Peaple travel from all over, and even stay in long lines sometimes, to get these gourmet donuts! Try for yourself! Weekends can be very busy, otherwise it’s pretty easy to go in and out with your mouthwatering treats! All donuts are also incidentally vegan, so a bit healthier I guess ;)

The forty-foot waterfall in Eaton Canyon fills an amphitheater at the top of Eaton Canyon Trail, tumbling into a wide pool that you can rest alongside or wade in. The waist-deep water is so refreshing, you are likely to see hikers in bathing suits on a warm day. The hike to Eaton Canyon Falls can be summed up this way: 1.1 miles of wide flat dirt trail that can feel uneventful, followed by 0.65 miles of single track up a narrow canyon that is adventurous and fun (forming a 3.5 mile round trip hike with 375 feet of elevation gain).
