First I thought, “oh, okay, a hike”, but it was really cool.
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.
