My parents and I hiked around some of the trails in the fall, and we were quite interested by the foreign-to-us soil and plant types in the area. We discovered a natural air-conditioning place, the spine portion of a dino, a bench up on top of a hill that has a rustic view, and had a grand ol' time popping... More

We enjoyed the displays and I think that answering the... More
