Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
  • 🥾Walking is best here in early morning in summer — quiet trails and good light before the heat
  • ☕Diseno coffee — a good base for a longer summer day out

Good to know
