An Oasis of Liquid Restoration Ah, what a marvelous destination for the weary traveler, whose noble exertions—be they of the hiking, cycling, or merely "existing in the outdoors" variety—have left them in dire need of liquid sustenance. This fine establishment (or perhaps conveniently secluded scenic spot) provides the perfect setting for indulging in well-earned refreshment. One might argue that the view alone is intoxicating, but why stop there? With gravity-defying elevation changes now behind you, it's only fair to introduce a different kind of dizziness—the kind that comes bottled, preferably well-chilled. Indeed, to forgo such an opportunity would be an affront to both nature and common sense. A word to the wise: come prepared, for the local wildlife is tragically unskilled in bartending, and no weary adventurer should be left at the mercy of mere hydration.
