Make sure to check the weather before you go, if its a cloudy/rainy day then the views on the hike will not be very good.

We ate at the restaurant and enjoyed the views but did not enjoy the food. We thought the food was overpriced but you can get a coffee at the top and walk the beautiful board walk!

This place has some of the best mixed drinks we have ever had, locally distilled Gin, Rye and Vodka - which you can also purchase in their onsite liquor store after your meal!
To drink, Storm got the "Storm Mountain" obviously - which was delicious, very well balanced! Dalton had the "Smoki Maple Old Fashion", also very tasty although quite powerful, so make sure you like Whiskey if that's the one you choose!
The food is not to be ignored either, we recommend the spinach and cheese dip is so delightful, their Mac'N'Cheese is ooey gooey deliciousness and you have to get the S'more dessert it's AMAZING!
