Why is the Andorra section of the park such a beloved area? Because it has it all! Trail Ambassadors Margaret Kinnevy and Trish Fries have planned a mini-adventure that explores a little bit of everything.
As we saunter up to where the forest meets the meadow, we will pause to notice features of the trees, plants, and waterways that are hidden in plain sight. We will pass by much that is not hidden, such as an environmental center, a food forest, a pollinator garden, historic ruins, and more. There will be time to have your questions answered about the built and natural environment, and the people who have lived, worked, and played in this area.
