From historic sites to scenic trails to great food, this is in no way a compre- hensive list of everything there is to do — but merely a small sampling of some of the best our area has to ofer. Go explore! Food and Drink Some of the best day trips are those that involve great food and drinks at res- taurants of the beaten path. Wherever you live, consider fnding a cool restau- rant a few counties away and making an afternoon or evening of the visit.
