Remember When Trips

Felt Like This?

Rivers, trails, downtown streets and the kind of experiences you don't rush

The kind of place you thought didn't exist anymore

Ride A Trail. Jump in the River.

Then do it all again tomorrow.

Market District

Way more charm than seems possible

Tree-lined streets, beautiful gardens, colourful storefronts, tiny boutiques, great coffee, tasty bites and friendly local characters. Market Avenue is the kind of downtown you stumble upon and immediately think, “Wait… Is this real? This place is adorable!”

Small town. Big personality.

Take a wander

Slow Down.

The river's not in a hurry either.

Two hours of warm, lazy current. Bring a hat and lose track of time.

Farm to mouth

Not a slogan, a way of life

Around here, the farms are close, the food is fresh and the welcome is warm. Local veggies, meat, dairy, bread and more all in one little valley. Taste it here, take it home or let a local chef do the delicious work for you.

Farm fresh never felt so close to home.

Park once. Wander Everywhere.

It's closer than you think

Everything is close. Hemmed in between the hillsides, the largely flat valley is a short bike, scoot, walk or drive from downtown to trails, farms and fun.
