Its your classic greasy spoon. Great chicken fried steak, machacas and migas. And if you want a killer bacon, avocado, cheese burger with hashbrowns, this will not disappoint. Its known for breakfast but my favorite for the burger. Watch them melt the cheese in a pan of butter and then pour it over the burger. I'm salivating just thinking about it :)

Don't let the strip mall fool you. Great variety of breakfast and lunch burritos, bagel sandwiches and pastries. I love their organic superhouse coffee. It has a really good nutty flavor and is low on acid. Perfect place to catch a quick bite before you head out or after you've gotten back from a day of rigorous activities. Don't be afraid to order some of their menu items like enchiladas or nachos. They're super good and often overlooked.

Its definitely a bar with locally brewed beer but their menu is super good. I go for the food first and drink beers well into the night.

Parks & Nature
Also commonly called "mushroom rock", it is a short hike, long on views from the summit. It only takes about an hour up and 20 minutes down but be sure to take some water and your time if you aren't quite acclimated.

Getting Around
If you came to ski and don't want to look for parking or you're just tired of driving, the valley has a good transportation system. Look up RFTA for a map and time schedules. Make sure to carry the exact change because none is available at the park and rides.

Drinks & Nightlife
Its not open super late but a great gem tucked away in a business center. Really cool inside, you can see the distillery. Their vodka and gin are really good. A great place for an afternoon drink, a gift bottle of locally produced spirits to take home or a place to chill away from it all.
