Also, there was a cougar sighting in the area, but over a month ago. We weren't lucky enough to see one.
There is a nice view of the valley, but again, the sky was pretty overcast, and visibility was low. There was lots of foliage color to enjoy.
There are several of these elder sculptures, which are designed to tell some of the native stories about the area.
The paths are well maintained, with packed gravel.
Lots of variety of trail views to see on this hike. This is an out of the way Natural Site, and there weren't a ton of people here, but it is a nice place with a lot to offer, especially if you like to bike or ride horses.
