The Pineries:
Since we live on the North end of town, this is an easy place to go for a good trail run, flowy mountain bike ride, or an easy long hike. At almost 8 miles, it's a bit on the long side for a flat hike, but you feel like you are deep in the woods and there is plenty of time for delving into the secrets of the Universe. Be wary of mountain bikers flying by trying to improve their Strava times.
