Good, local, diner-type restaurant. The Mexican biscuits and gravy is a personal favorite if you need a 5000 calorie gut bomb to start your day off right!

Fantastic doughnuts. Absolutely fantastic. Their hours are hit-and miss, but when you do catch them, plan on getting one doughnut to split if you had a good breakfast already. Everything is made right when you order, have a cup of coffee and watch how doughnuts are made. Neat little place.

Sightseeing
See the lower mission falls on the east end of the reservoir, or take in the big picture view from the dam and watch the upper falls roar down from Lucifer lake. There is an unmarked trail up to Kekashe peak on the ridge north of the reservoir. About 1/4 mile up from the dam on the left, there is a road behind the outhouses. Park the car out of the way of the road, and hike up. Follow the road up to a clearing, then take a right (turn east) and follow the trail up the hill. About 2 miles up the trail, you will find yourself in a spectacular grove of Western Larch trees that are brilliant gold during the fall. Strenuous hike to the peak.
