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
  • Good accessibility year-round — paths here remain suitable through summer
  • Flame and Frappe — a good base for a longer summer day out

Good to know
