A short visit (in and out 15 minutes) but no doubt Hartman Rock Garden is cool to look at. Free; donations are gladly appreciated.

The Hartman Rock Garden is literally someone's backyard, so don't be surprised for the GPS to be taking you through neighborhood streets. It is amazing to see. The kids and I really enjoyed it.
