Lots as well as great deals of cows…
They hang out on the hillside along the trail, just chillin’ as well as doing what cows do. If you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you. I believe they’re very cool.
We went for a short household hike there last weekend as well as delighted in the views, the animals, as well as the wildflowers. नि?
It isn’t hot right here yet, however it isn’t chilly either (upper-60s, low-70s), so it’s enjoyable outside, however if you occur to stop by in the summer, it would be much better to hit the path early in the morning, because there’s practically *no* shade along the trails.
You don’t have to be an avid backpacker or outdoorsy person to delight in the trails, either. We walked along the broad terminate roads, which aren’t as well steep, as well as they’re quickly traversable. It’s a extremely household friendly hike.
