There are plenty of hiking trails in this area. In fact, you could hike a new trail every weekend for the rest of your life and never run out of trails to trek. But since today is forest-themed, let's really get into the thick-of-it without driving too far. Ice House Reservoir Loop fits the bill. The trail is 9.5 miles long and takes an average of 3 hours to complete.

The trail is open year-round but Ice House Road may be closed if it is inaccessible due to snow. Check the weather conditions before you go.

If you're in the mood for something rich and decadent, they serve cheese fondue for two. They can also serve vegan cheese fondue, which is a pretty rare offering at a restaurant. Nice touch! If you're still hungry, there is a dessert menu. Wash all that good food down with one of the 30 beers on tap.
