Food scene
If you’ve been to the Gorge, you’ve most likely been to or at least heard of Miguel’s. This restaurant has been a haven for climbers and campers since 1984 and there is nothing like sitting down with a big, freshly made, pepperoni pizza after being in the woods for a few days. We cap off almost every trip by stopping here on our way home!

This place has been an immediate staple for us ever since they opened. They have incredible burgers, burritos, and beer! (Plus salads, tacos, wine, and bourbon - we just love the alliteration)
Just so you know: they are closed in the winter months. Catch them in the spring, summer, and fall!

Hop’s is fairly new to the area, but they are a wonderful option for many reasons! They have an incredible selection of beers and foods, served in a gorgeous outdoor sitting area AND they try to be intentionally environmentally conscious with everything they serve and the way that they build!
Here’s a quote from the owner, a former Energy Conservation Manager and the Director of the Center for Environmental Education, “It has been interesting trying to incorporate my environmental background into the construction process as well as the choice of foods being offered. It was important to incorporate recycling and reusing principles and to support local.”
They also host The Graining Fork Craft and Farmers Market, and live music as a way to support the local community

You know that feeling where you’re flying at 50mph above and through the canopy? Yeah, we didn’t either, until we had our first ziplining experience!
This is safe, but it isn’t for the faint of heart.
