Discovery Trail
"I welcome you to explore the Discovery Trail. Listen for the chirping of the birds, the rustle of the wind, the shuffle of the lizard, and the sound of flapping wings of an ever present northern harrier. Smell the scent of the plants that you pass on your way. See a black-tailed jackrabbit hopping with delight, a caterpillar blazing a trail in the sand, a beetle and a Yucca struggling to survive, and sand dunes carefully sculpted then turned to stone." - Daniel Murray
