Nature

Chock-full of gorgeous trails. We love starting at the trailhead at Lincoln & 32nd Street. The parking lot is usually full, so we park across the street in the Starbucks plaza (this is technically not allowed, so please do so at your own risk / consider taking an Uber instead!) Pro tip: download the AllTrails app if you love planning ahead!
