Overview

There are a major variety of birds and wildflower to see in the spring. This is the highlight of the route.

Description

Leaving the parking lot there there are multiple trails, it's best to download this route as there are a total of 11 trails that spring off the loop. Wildflowers and birds are in a multitude of variety and colors as well as butterflies. The trail has a small creek near the beginning that is perfect for small animals to quiche their thirst. The trail does have an incline to it with very mild rocks in the path. There are a few dips into old creeks without water yielding rock beds that need to be crossed.
