To really sum this up correctly I will say this, just like all of the Yosmemete valley this place is a little piece of heaven. Waterfalls, wood bridges, fast running rivers, wood log crossing, and cascades everywhere. If you want nature to the fullest this is it. Just cant gi wrong with it.

Nice little nature center. Several animals displayed in faux and a few skins also to help your ID. Nice art studio with regular classes and plenty of inspiration right outside. People staffing made the difference- the know how to connect with each person that walks in. I was so impressed...
