This is an absolute beauty of a natural environment to hike and take in some breathtaking views. Unfortunately, I fear that parks like this will soon be too restricted due to the moronic behaviours of certain individuals who callously ignore signage or meander into areas not suitable for Vans sneakers and Coach purses. I realize that I may sound like that, "Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!!" guy, but it is worth noting that certain behaviours and actions can actually deter one from fully enjoying this incredible experience. My guest and I will certainly be making a return visit. I'll just take an extra chill pill 😎
