What a day for the books! We hopped on the Side Jeep Safari, and seriously, it's such a gem for families. The tour took us through some super lush landscapes and stopping at Green Lake was a unique kind of peace you'd expect from a post-card. My kids gave it thumbs up, especially during the bonus boat trip. Just don't forget your snacks (though the tour is generously stocked) and a hat for some shade during the open-air drive!
