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
  • ✦Historic character is a year-round quality here — summer brings its own atmosphere to the setting
  • ☕Baxter Baristas @ Jordan Well — a good base for a longer summer day out

Good to know

  • 🐕Dogs welcome
