Sequiota offers a beautiful park with caves for exploring, and park play equipment. After your time at the park maybe it's time for coffee from Black Lab Coffee, or better yet a bear from 4 by 4 brewery. All very close by. Go a bit further south on Lone Pine and try The Rock, or Galloway Grill- both restaurants, or another small brewery Great Escape Beerworks.
