Bring along some binoculars to explore one
of the three trails within the park, plus
the Rivervalley Trail leading from Englehart to Kap-Kig-Iwan. Hell's Gate, Sentinel Cedar
and the
Upland Circle Trails each provide some great areas to look for wildlife and wildflower
viewing.
There are some very photogenic sites along each trail.
Another common site in the park is the birdwatcher! The park is home to a wide range of
birds
and the rarely observed Black-billed Cuckoo has been spotted in the park. |
