This is usually the most popular 14-er for first-timers. It is a little over 7 miles and can take about 5-6 hours. Even though it is considered a good beginner 14-er, that does NOT mean it is a beginner trail. It is a tough long hike, and you will do some scrambling over rocks at the top to summit. Breathtaking views at the top!

Don't let the name fool you, this is not just a dessert place. (Even though the desserts are AH-MAZING). They also serve brunch, lunch, and dinner. My favorites: Warm Kale Salad, Croque Madame, Warm Donut Sundae, Strawberry Fields, and Roasted Turkey Pot Pie.

Do you like Hard Cider? I do! Stem Ciders make their own ciders, I can't exactly tell you how they do it, but their ciders are not overly sweet like some of the ones you find at the store. They have a drier taste and easier to drink. And also all Gluten-free, if that's your thing.
AND, they also have live music, trivia.

First Draft has 40 beers/wine/cider on tap. You pour your own beer with a swipe card they give you when you get there. You can pour as little or as much as you want, it's measured and charged by the ounce. They also have small plates & sandwiches. I like the Crispy Brussel Sprouts!
