Enchanted Valley Hike

Activity description: We took a nature walk through the Enchanted Valley (4.5 miles) to observe native plants and wild life. We collected 10 plant samples, and observed skunk cabbage (see photo left) and a variety of evergreen trees. We also found slugs, salamanders and a snake. The destination was a natural fallen log bridge. Very beautiful. A rainbow dipped into the valley after the rain stopped. What a welcome sight!
