Description

Under the dense canopy, the temperature often drops up to ten degrees cooler than the city streets. The pathways wind past streams and quiet ponds where you might spot turtles, deer, and owls. Benches are cleared along the dirt trails, though the route markings can be confusing to follow in places. The walks culminate at Mt. Moses, which delivers a sudden, surprising perspective from its peak.
