Beautiful spot, near the Arboretum. Could do both in one run.
All short. Nobody's doing a real hike.
1.5 mi loop, 360° views, best in the region. But: last 6 miles are gravel, no cell service or bathrooms. Morning only, skip if rain.

Zero walking. Maybe the best drive-up view on the Parkway.
Flat garden paths, indoor air-conditioned bonsai exhibit. Near Sierra Nevada + Bold Rock.
Standing room venue; table seats cost more but you sit all night, worth it for mom + dad. Conflicts with the 6:30 dinner, so speak up early if interested.

Everyone rolls in, groceries, games at the house.
Downtown day at whatever pace. Head back early if we feel like a game night.
