From the house head N, turn E on Gillis (the alley) and keep going straight. If you hit a dirt path you’re going in the right direction! That brings you to Warehouse Market which has a ton of great stuff to check out!!

One of our favorite things to do is bike the NW side of the TART trail up to Farm Club for drinks and a snack! The food is all from their farm, they have a little produce and local artist products as well!

Recommended in food as well, but this is one of our FAVORITE easy activities! It’s about 6-7 miles one way to FC, but you can take the TART 98% of the way there! *the TART is an amazing pedestrian path, please do your part to maintain safety on the trail by not riding too fast. Be warned, you will cross a number of busy streets!

We LOVE Crystal during the winter months! Skiing and snowboarding has never been so accessible! *if you are accustom to larger mountains you may have to change your mindset a bit, and appreciate how short the chair lift ride takes and how often you are right next to the lodge! ;) truly it is a blast and a half, regardless of if you’re getting out there for the first time or are an old pro. The mountain isn’t too crowded and has fabulous night skiing! Check it out!
