We got some fridge magnets, honey, ground coffee and also some hot chocolate...

Enjoyed my visit. Plenty of walking trails Took a detour off the main trails. There were some challenging climbs and descents.

Take note that parking is $10. Easier to download the app and pay there.

In winter, lace up on the outdoor rink (skate rental extra). In spring, watch wildflowers bloom in the quarry garden. Summer weekends bring extra vendors to the market.
