Story

After visiting the visitor center, Tara and I headed outside and walked around the Biologic and Geologic interpretive trails. It was really hot outside, so we went quickly. Then as we were getting ready to leave, we located the third interpretive trail, which we can only assume is the "general" interpretive trail. Tara stayed in the car while I walked, then jogged that trail. It ended up being a lot longer than the first two trails and didn't have any signs after the welcome sign that was too burned to read.
