Great spot for brunch! It’s a 10 minute walk down the street. My favorite thing on their menu is the caramel latte, lavender latte, and golden milk. Their sister store Serpentine is in the same plaza, the cutest plant store!

My favorite trail! Sweetwater is so vast, a great place for a long walk/run. This trail is great for any age. It is very safe, you can see far out into the distance and there are always park rangers riding around. There are water stations and shaded seating along the trail.

If the stadium is opened, I love a good stadium workout - the tunnels keep your jog cool. A bleacher/stairs workout!
