A fine dining sushi restaurant known for their seasonal sashimi. They fly their fish in from Japan! Expect to spend some money here as their prices are much higher than your average sushi restaurant.

Parks & Nature
This is definitely a must go for out of towners! It's a short 3/4 mile hike (all incline) and about an hour drive. Parking is $5 (cash only).
My Kansas (a flat state!) friends were able to do the hike up in about 20 minutes with breaks. Elevation is a little over 10k but the views are amazing and there's so much to explore once you get up there.

This hiking trail has shade, plus a waterfall, a stream, a canyon, and lake. It's an easy to moderate hike. I say moderate because I went during early November after it had just snowed, so it'll probably be easier during the Spring and/or Summer. Drive time is about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
