Things to Do - around Angel Mountain Cabin
Explore the premises... with your camera!
Grab a bucket of chow for the critters in both ponds and become a best buddy in record speed!
Take a walk on the Angel Mountain trail... side by side, or at your own pace
On top of Angel Mountain is an old cemetery and Jeffrey's angel spot; for some reason, I am unable to post pictures here. Hmmm....
Find the 'Bear Tree' on the trail!
(Well, okay, maybe it's just the work of a crazed woodpecker gang, but that's not nearly as exciting as a Bear Tree!)
Sit on the park bench at one of the two ponds and wait for some silly critter antics.
Or watch the clouds and wait for nothing in particular.
Either way, you won't be disappointed!
Yep, the livin' is easy here.
