🥾 Hike of the Day: Hewlett Gulch Trail Ready to stretch those legs? This 12.9 km out-and-back near Bellvue offers scenic views, creek crossings, and open meadows. It’s moderately challenging, dog-friendly, and open year-round—aka the perfect excuse for a long, beautiful wander. | 🥩 Craving: Rodizio Grill All-you-can-meat alert! Rodizio Grill brings the sizzle of Southern Brazil to FoCo with endless skewers of grilled meats carved tableside. Add in their legendary salad bar and sides, and you’ve got yourself a feast. Come hungry—leave happy (and possibly in a food coma). |
