Leg #4:
Red Fox Bridge to the Nature Center

After viewing the creek from the bridge, salmonberries greet the visitor just before the Red Fox switchbacks. These open up to old main trail, a major artery in the park featuring numerous Doug fir's and big leaf maples as well as art installations along the adjoining Trillium trail.
