Ponderosa Passage greets forest visitors at the entryway, just off the main drive. Primarily composed of young ponderosa pines, this section is flat and easily accessible.
The lush grass understory and well-spaced trees in Ponderosa Passage create a park-like feel, making this section a customer favorite for leisurely walks and picnics.
Trees here are separated by a wetland meadow that runs through the center of the section.
We look forward to welcoming you to the forest!
