This is the local spot for great mountain biking, hiking and running trails. It has become a huge trail system and a destination for mountain bikers. We usually ride our bikes right from town to the trails, it is a great warm up! FYI, there are only a couple of beginner trails at Lunch Loops, most are intermediate and above. Check out the local bike shops for trail maps!

Pablo's is famous for it's unique pizza combinations. A little pricier than mainstream pizza joints but so worth it! We love the cowboy--made with barbecue sauce. They also have calzones and local beers and wines.
