You follow paths along the river in the forest and cross it over bridges. All the time, you can see pure nature. The   thing   which   impressed   me   most   is   that   it   is   so   quiet, you   just   hear   your   own   footsteps,   the   trees   and   the   river. As   we   were   there   inj   the   fall,   the   trees   were   an   awesome green,   yellow,   orange   and   red   color.   I   have   never   seen   so many   high   trees   in   one   place   before.   Once   a   mouse crossed   my   path   and   a   squirrel   jumped   from   tree   to   tree. You can simply be happy during the hike. The bridge in the middle of the loop is a magical place to stand, listen and think about how beautiful our world is. Bottom Line We were there for two hours on a wonderful sunny Saturday in October. I   loved   it,   it   was   one   of   the   things   that   gave   me   great memories.   I   think   5$   is   not   very   expensive   for   something this great.
