You want to take a thousand pictures of white dainty butterflies that roam above the vegetation alongside the Bluffs? You'll run out of memory in your phone camera in no time. Be on the lookout for a giant squirrel that allows you to do an impromptu photoshoot with it for an hour.. maybe you might have to gently talk to it and tell her how beautiful her eyes are, , lol.. at least that's what I did.. enjoy this place if you can.. all is free but don't walk away from the donation box by the entrance it'll help volunteers and others to keep this place beautiful and maintain its current cleanliness.
