Day 1

Red River National Wildlife Refuge
Most of the trails kick off at the visitor center and take you through shady hardwoods, quiet cypress spots, and around some pretty lakes. The Orange Trail has signs along the way if you're into learning a bit while you walk. It’s a great option if you're looking for an easy stroll to check out Louisiana’s wildlife—birds, deer, and yeah, maybe even an alligator or two.

The menu is entirely gluten-free, making everything from scratch, including house-made tortillas from non-GMO corn imported from Oaxaca. It has helped local farmers gain a foothold in the wholesale market and has been recognized as Louisiana’s Best Mexican Restaurant.
