Food scene

Sightseeing

Feel like you’re far away from the city within minutes! There’s one paved road leading all the way to Southridge, but if you bring shoes with solid grip you can take one of the dirt trails into the ravine itself for a bit of urban forest exploration.

Very large, very busy, very commercial place for shopping. Also has a theatre. You won't find many tourist trinkets here, though.
