🕘 Start Time: 9:00 AM
⏱ Duration: 1.5–2 hours
🌿 Trail Conditions: Very easy walk; open with shade
💲 Parking: $4 per vehicle (QR code payment at entrance)
What to Expect
While we won’t be walking the La Chua boardwalk on this outing, the surrounding prairie edges and wooded habitat still offer great opportunities to see a variety of species. The trail is paved, but expect some inclines along the way.
