I often come here with my dog; it's definitely one of my favorite places, especially in the hot summer months. It's nice and cool, there's always a place for the dog to drink, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Very nice hiking trails mostly in the shade. Beautiful forest, unfortunately no access to the gorge.
