My family visited the park today all the way from Colorado, and we had an amazing experience! Ranger Trish introduced us to a king snake and shared fascinating information about cardinals and the park itself. Her passion for her work was evident, and it made our visit even more enjoyable and engaging. She was incredibly knowledgeable and truly enhanced our appreciation of the park!
