How the night flows

Park at the Railroad Street trailhead and walk out along the old rail line for half an hour, then turn back; the county posts no trail hours, so plan the walk for daylight. Rincon Tarasco is a short drive south and serves until 9 PM Tuesday to Sunday (closed Monday). Its prices are not posted as text, so dinner is a planning estimate.
