It's an easy hike with a beautiful reward. You can even spend the night there. But don't. Stay at River's Edge.

It's a pretty incredible waterfall for how short it is. People die there all the time. You won't though. Play it smart. I went there when I was 6 and I'm still alive.

Barclay Lake is nice and all, but it's a very novice hike. Some people like a challenge​ and for those people, I offer Mount Baring. Check it and other hikes out on WTA.org.

If you're doing an extended stay and you run out of some essentials, or maybe you just forgot the burgers to grill, Gold Bar Family Grocer will be your best bet at getting most of your grocery needs.

I haven't been here in a decade, but it may be more reliable than Der Baring store, due to the rating on Google. Typical hours are 8am-9pm, Sat-Fri.

It's not quite a dive bar and there's rarely many people there, but there aren't many places to grab a beer. The brewer will be the guy serving your beer and if you want, you can run around to the other side and buy yourself a bottle of coriander vodka as a souvenir or a night cap, your choice. They don't have food, but Rico's Pizza will deliver here.

Food Scene

It's a deli and a damn fine deli, let me tell you. Plus, they sell liquor, but bring some from home, because this stuff aint cheap. Great coffee, breakfast, burgers, sandwiches and baked good. Can't go wrong here.

There aren't many choices for this one, but if you plan ahead you can grab a pie on your way up or have them deliver you one while you have a few drinks at the Mt. Index Brewery.

Oh yum. If you don't​ know about the Sultan Bakery, then you are in for a treat. If it's a weekend, don't be surprised if you cant find parking and need to wait. I call my order in and get some doughnuts to go!

Sightseeing

This is a very short hike, under 2 miles, and has a very rewarding view when you climb the stairs to the lookout. Highly rated on WTA.org. Get out and do it.

Entertainment & Activities

Mountain Biking is the next best thing to skiing. When you don't​ want to pay for the uphill lift, Alpine Baldy is your place. A great intermediate ride with a rewarding view. https://www.evergreenmtb.org/trails/alpine-baldy
