Movie set. Great place to walk around with the family. There is a cost.
Nightfall in October is a MUST for the adventure seeker. This is a very scary haunted town. Younger children may not want to visit during nightfall.

Experienced Hiker
This is a great place to explore and hike for the experienced hiker. This is in a canyon and so you must practice safety. You MUST check the weather! If there is a storm on the other side of the mountain, DO NOT hike as it will cause flash floods.
If you come at the right time of year there is a waterfall that many people like to play in. Beware there is a nude beach at the very top. However it is not easily accessible.
