El Dorado Nature Center

I didn't know that this even existed. A fellow mom told me about El Dorado and she is from New York. So yesterday the kids and set out on an adventure. I'm not sure how big this place is but it's plenty big. There are at least 2 lakes with several trails to choose from. We chose the 1 mile hike and it was lots of fun. Not very strenuous but challenging enough for the kids. We walked uphill, did a few switchbacks, crossed a few bridges and through woods and fields.

Lots of turtles basking in the sun. These are just a few. I think their stance is their mating stance. Hubba hubba!

We saw all sorts of 'wildlife'. We are definitely going back and we'll try the 2 mile trail next.
