Tecolote Canyon Natural Park

Despite its location in the middle of the city, this peaceful spot has a 5.5 mile out-and-back trail with a few short, steep climbs and is ideal for runners and bikers.

Kitchen 4140  

Don’t miss the American-with-a-twist menu, which spans Bulgogi braised short ribs to grass-fed buffalo burger. The best seat in the house is outside in 4140’s charming organic garden—preferably with a red velvet waffle for brunch.
