Best Outdoor Spot to Visit

Mount Rubidoux is a lovely outdoor place to go on a hike with your friends, loved one, family or even just your dog. It’s an easy hike and the view of riverside is beautiful!

Favorite Local Business

I love visiting the Downtown Book Store in down town Riverside. It’s a peaceful and quiet place with a variety of books and little trinkets. I can always find a few books for a really good price that are fun and/or enlightening. Plus, the people are very friendly and sweet.

Best Restaurant

Tio’s tacos! It’s ambiance is very fun, free & creative. It’s a fun spot for friends to hang out in the evening and get a meal. Lots of great photo ops too!
