3 Sisters/Jean's Hill Hiking Trail

👍👍 The hike up to the peaks is fairly tough and a reasonable level of fitness is required. If you are not fit, then give yourself time for stopping and resting. The view from above 100% compensates for the effort. What I enjoyed most about this hike though was the variety in plant species. Stop and app...

👍👍 Ataraxia has wonderful wines, I couldn't pick just one I loved. The tasting room is beautiful, situated in an old-style chapel. The views of the vineyards is amazing. There's a bit of a wait if you have not booked and it's busy - but enough time to wander around outside and take photos.
