O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Polumiljska šetališna staza od dasaka vijuga kroz vlažne livade i šumu crvene jele gde se svetlo narandžasti lososi kokani vraćaju da se mreste u jesen, pružajući lako posmatranje divljih životinja duž blage petlje. Unutar potopljene posmatračke komore stakleni prozor se nalazi na nivou vode, omogućavajući vam da posmatrate pastrmke i losose kako klize pored dok volonteri i rendžeri objašnjavaju sezonske ritmove potoka.

Istaknuto: Siđite u tu potopljenu komoru i osetite hladan, vlažan vazduh dok se grupe od 50 do 200 kokani lososa okupljaju blizu stakla tokom vrhunca oktobarskog mresta, njihova narandžasta tela blješte na tamnom šljunku. Noćne vođene šetnje koje predvode rendžeri ponekad se završavaju na maloj interpretativnoj tabli gde volonteri kredom ispisuju dnevni broj lososa, tako da možete pročitati pravi broj poput "73" i čuti tiho žuborenje potoka pod zvezdama.

Insajderski saveti

Wear layered clothing and sturdy shoes, mountain weather can change quickly.
Bring mosquito repellent from late summer into early fall, especially near the creek and boardwalk.
Photograph the stream through the Stream Profile Tube at golden hour for dramatic, backlit fish silhouettes.
Avoid midday weekends by arriving before 9am or after 4pm to find easier parking and quieter trails.
