Exploring the Cascade Mountains on horseback with Eagle Creek Ranch offers an immersive nature experience. Their seasoned guides lead riders of all skill levels through scenic trails, with options ranging from a gentle 40-minute Valley Ride to a more adventurous 1-hour and 40-minute 5-mile Ride. Children aged six and above are welcome, though double-riding isn't permitted. During winter months, the ranch collaborates with Eagle Creek Sleigh Rides to provide horse-drawn sleigh journeys through snow-covered landscapes, complete with hot cider by a cozy barn fire.

San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin was founded in 1902 as a Temple of the Jodo Shinshu Nishi Hongwanji sect of Buddhism. Located in downtown San Jose, Betsuin attracts countless visitors each year who are drawn to the Temple’s interminable beauty. Ornate altars, ponds and gardens make Betsuin that much more transcendent and its meditative peace resonates with everyone regardless of creed or background. Ikebana flower arranging classes are held, as well as Judo training and Japanese language programs.

The Medieval church that stands at the centre of Toompea hill is one of the county’s most fascinating historical attractions. Traditionally catering to the nobility, it is filled with spectacular, wood-carved artwork and elaborate coats of arms. Visitors can climb the 69-metre baroque bell-tower, added in 1779, for amazing views of the city.
