Burritos (both breakfast and lunch/dinner options) are phenomenal. Don't plan to go inside, I'm pretty sure it's drive-through only. Very popular spot for rush-hour and lunch-hour traffic, so plan accordingly!

Things to do

Huge water park that is fun for all ages! Open Memorial Day to Labor Day. We'd recommend the tube valet -- it's pricey but well worth it when carrying the big family-sized tubes up the hill for rides!

The butterfly enclosure is really cool, however it's way more than just butterflies! You can hold a tarantula (Rosie), pet a starfish, and play on the nature-themed indoor playground. I would especially recommend this place for any families with kids under 10!

This is our kids' favorite hike! It winds through a valley with plenty of shade, criss-crossing a stream that has very large, flat-top boulders to walk across. Super easy hike. You can't get lost. There aren't any great views at the top, but it's still one of our hiking staples.

This small canyon has a few of our favorite hikes, plus world class climbing along the walls. Because it's narrow, it can be a great place to hike on sunny days when you're looking for a hike with some shade.
