I can't really recommend this area for exercise. We visited today, realizing that fall is not the area's best season. In the void created by the absence of the famous camas flowers, however, we noticed the variety of trees in this tiny preserve. I'll put it on the list for spring. And we'll try to figure out how to get some mileage out of this.
