This biking and hiking trail and park is made from an old railroad corridor. The trail runs for 15 miles through tall oaks. In some places, the trees almost form an archway, making this ride easy and shady. There are also eight miles of spur trails that run through public conservation lands for hiking and horse riding.

Okay. This is the best pizza I've ever had in my life. You don't even need extra toppings, the margherita will do. I highly recommend eating in house and not getting to go.

The best way I can describe this place is "Cheesecake Factory but better". Very cool decor, and you can order anything from a brie puff pastry, to chicken and artichoke risotto, to even a fluffernutter sandwich. No, I'm not kidding.
