The food is delicious even if you don’t ride bikes. If you have kids, it’s a great place because it’s very casual. They have goats and a bike track right next to the outdoor seating. This is a local favorite and may not be as busy as some of the other restaurants in town.

Sightseeing
It is a scenic drive down the gorge on one side. Then you drive across a low bridge across the river with a view of the bridge. You can park and watch rafters go down the river. Please make sure you wear a PFD if you get in the river. The current is very strong.

Neighborhood overlook with one of the best views of the bridge. From Redstar house take left out of driveway. Continue through neighborhood until you reach a stop sign. Turn left. Continue on road past two houses on the right. Park in gravel area next to trail map kiosk. Very short down the hill to an awesome overlook! There are nice trails leaving from there but explore at your own risk. They aren’t marked as well as the park service trails.
