Hi Jim,
 
That's a difficult question to answer.  Is it touristy?  Most  certainly 
yes. 
 But it retains plenty of local charm, and there are  enough of hiking 
trails 
and sites outside of the main part of town to make for  an enjoyable one or 
two day stay.  And the drive out there is a  blast!
 
The exception is when they hold their annual apple festival in early  
October.  Then the crowds do seem to rival Disneyland ;-)
 
Thanks for looking.
 
Best regards,
 
Ira
