Reviewed by Viewer on 1/11/2004 Hit this trail on the right day when there is a modert wind and plenty of sun and you begin to realize what it must be like to live as a Kuola Bear feasting on Eucaplisis leaves. I say this becase 80 years of Ecoliptus duuf has been depostited on the trail path and walking it release the fragrence. Wonderfull. There are also licorice plants along thril and thos too share the pungent aroma. Well worth a family look see and don't exclude the dog. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
