Slithering Out of a Bad Rap - Nature Walk

Reputation is not everything, especially when it comes to our local snakes. Feared and often despised, these remarkable and handsome animals deserve our respect and affection. This is a moderately strenuous hike. Meet at the parking lot to left of pond, 1 hr.

Remember to pay $7 parking fee inside park.
