This trail was the fossil trail. Along the boardwalk they have cases with examples of fossilized animal skulls they had found in the area. It was very cool.
Near the parking lot Alex and Maya made friends with two really nice boys close to their age.....from Dearborn (near Detroit). They all climbed to the top of this hill, sat down and compared vacation notes.
We caught most of the ranger's fossil presentation on the way back to the car. The fossils she had were amazing and she did a very good job of explaining how the land here has changed dramatically over time from a sea to a swamp to a forest, etc.
Alex was very intrigued by these "beware of rattlesnakes" signs. He wanted very badly to see a rattlesnake and take a picture of it. Every little rustle or chirp we heard he was sure was the rattle of a rattlesnake tail!
