OMG you have to see the TERROR-Dactyl ride. If you are afraid of heights like me you only want to see it, not take the ride. Its the only ride like it in the entire world--sitting on a 220 foot cliff going over 100 mph. Bring an extra pair of pants.

This place is unbelievable. "Google" the pictures from this swimming hole. It is so much fun. It really helps to swim in the summer (obviously) but it is still really neat to see if you don't swim. Warning there is a bit of a hike from the road to get to it, maybe about 20 minutes depending upon how fast you walk. Also, just fair warning, there are teenagers that come here and drink alcohol (all day long) so if you have your family with younger kids you may want to get there really early to enjoy it more.
