Parks & Nature
2 Miles up Lake St, from my house is an amazing hiking trail with switchbacks leading 2.8 miles up Echo Mountain to the remnants of an historic hotel built in 1894. You will be scratching your head as to how they ever built anything at the top of this mountain.

I love this restaurant! off the beaten path, street parking, interesting menu that changes frequently. If you want something unique and tasty this is the spot. You may think it's closed however with sign-less entrance and it's blacked out windows. Don't be deceived.

Shopping
Colorado Boulevard is famous for the Rose Bowl Parade at New Years, but the rest of the year it is a shopping and dining haven for the locals and visitors to our historic town. Tons of restaurants, bars, shopping in major department stores as well as boutiques. Lots of scheduled music throughout the spring, summer and fall.
