Carla Cordoves

Great place to unwind and have a picnic or a hike. There’s not enough water flow in October to see the water fall but it’s beautiful nonetheless.

Such a beautiful walking path alongside the river that can last for miles if you’re up to it. It’s mostly shaded, has some areas for bicycles (although people are on them throughout the entire path), and the scenery is always majestic and surprising.

Quick service - did not have to make any lines to buy or go all the way up. There were very few people at the top so I was able to catch all the sights without anyone walking in front of me or blocking my photos. Good view of the city and beyond. There are different sections around the deck which explain a part of the history of the city and how it came to be. Be sure to check them out and listen to the audio guides on each section. There’s a cafe at the tower as well as a gift shop.

If you want to go to the 360 view restaurant, it is recommended to have a reservation. You’ll have to get a specific elevator on the ground floor in order to head to the restaurant. It can’t be done through the observation deck.

Warm welcome by staff! Famous blackened salmon sandwich (~$19) as seen on the Travel Channel. Their clam chowder (~$6) is amazing as well. Very few seats but worth the wait.
