THE MOST AMAZING HOT DOGS OF EVER. At first you're like - I'm paying $7-10 for a hot dog!? But their combos/size are so worth it. Parking is crappy in that area, FYI. Wait is usually super short.

One of those touristy things you just gotta do. Catch the sunset or sunrise. Off the highway, unofficial little outlook. It's about a five minute climb to get up to the cliff. Gorgeous.
