Smooth wide gravel paths allow you to stroll up top with a gorgeous overlook of the Deschutes River canyon. The Robins Trail descends down the canyon to the river trail below. Pretty easy walking but some hills and some rocks in the narrow dirt path.

Coolest coffee house in town if you like quaint and cozy. The owner did all the carpentry work himself. Coffee and a pastry is a meal by itself but you need to drink it there. Preparing the coffee an art form here. Many non-dairy milk alternatives. Plus a vegan food truck out back. Indoor and outdoor dining. Sit inside by the fire, outside on the front patio or out back in the enclosed food court. Occasional live music.
