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.

Summer weekends have extra food stalls and live demos. In winter, skate under heritage beams; trails may be icy—wear micro-spikes.
