Description

a wonderful hike through easy access paths, lush trees and fantastic scenery. The auto and bike paths are separate from the hiking path, so there was very little traffic. The paths were clean, and the park offered comfortable benches along the path for hikers to take a seat for rest or pause to enjoy the scenery. I plan on visiting the park more often, so I purchased a membership pass which offers free access.
