Wild orchids (96k) Many wild orchids here. We noticed many of them growing in trees once we started looking up... |
Park workers (110k) These ladies take a break from keeping
the park spotless and beautiful. A lot of landscaping and gardening
work is required to keep this place looking as nice as it did when we
visited. |
Nice place to be (102k) Beautiful scenic views from here. the
air is clean, the people are friendly and of course the views are terrific.
This became a national park in 1995. |
Path to lookout (115k) Overlooking a sprawling valley is the
gazebo
on the right. You can see a long distance from here, although
in this park there are some points with elevations hundreds of feet
higher. |
The main path (108k) This path leads to cabins - all with terrific
views overlooking the valley and nearby smaller mountains. Go to this
website to reserve a cabin! |
Map of the park (108k) This map shows many waterfalls throughout
the park, but only a couple of roads. Our road was winding in the extreme. |
Small store (116k) Here's a little store selling snacks and
such. Flowers were found everywhere around this view point, with many
varieties growing wild. |
