Turtles is very close to the house and has a very easy 'all american' menu. It's easy & close, kid friendly and priced fairly reasonably. I don't think Turtles is anything special in terms of it's menu but for convenience and location it's great. There is both a restaurant and a bar (The Loft) but you can get drinks and food in both places. We often go to the Loft for a quick drink and small bite with friends if our goal is to have drinks or a burger.

Hike trails that go to the top and also meander around the base of the trail. Poison oak is prevalent here - use caution - still a great hike if you stay on the trails!

Essentials

Eugene's version of whole foods - both conventional and organic foods are offered, some prepared foods, a good selection of both wine and beer. Prices are a little high but convenience usually weighs out here.
