👍👍 The aerial tram is an experience in itself which has amazing views and great feel covering thousands of feet within ten minutes. A mode of transportation made for enjoyment but also a great engineering feat. But also with the tram ride comes the visit to the top of the 8500 feet mountain that takes...

Lake Fulmor Day Use Area
Picnic ground

Sitting at the waters edge, watching the birds and dragon flies dance and skim the water, was far more exciting than any fireworks in the city. On the way out, a Southern Alligator Lizard crossed our path. Speaking from experien...

Hall of Horrors Area
Hiking area
👍👍 Despite the name, this was actually very nice to walk through. A couple of tight spaces throughout which give fame to its name. Recommend to stop by and walk around if you have a chance

How hard?
A: From a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being impossible, I would rate this a 6.8. The beginning and very end will be...

Tenaja Falls Trail head
Hiking area
👍👍 Love this little hike, it's also a fun drive to get there! The hike itself to the falls is pretty short as far as hikes go. Maybe around a mile up? You can also find little offshoot trails to explore a little more. I have yet to explore if there is anything farther at the top. Pretty place and whene...
