Been
looking
for
a
forest
or
woods
like
this
since
I
moved
to
California.
Scotland
we
have
vast
forests
some
truly
amazing
to
be
honest.
El
Dorado
Nature
Center
certainly
hit
the
spot
in
more
ways
than
one.
Upon
arrival
after
waiting
in
a
short
line
and
paying
the
$7
fee.
Parking
spots
are
a
plenty
and
with
staff
at
the
main
entrance
your
safe
and
so
is
your
car.
Opening
hours
are
8am
till
5pm
and
closed
Monday.
From
the
parking
spot
to
the
start
of
the
trails
is
merely
a
minute
walk.
Immediately
as
you
start
your
walk
you
cross
a
bridge
that
leads
to
a
visitor
center
and
you
follow
the
path
round
to
the
start
of
the
trail.
I
believe
there
is
3
trails
1/4
mile,
1
mile
and
2
mile,
a
walk
with
plenty
of
sights
to
see
for
every
member
of
a
family.
I
took
way
too
long
on
the
mile
trail
as
was
in
awe
with
the
beauty
that
was
to
be
unfolded.
I
was
like
a
kid
in
a
candy
store,
having
lived
in
California
for
11
years
and
seeing
what
I
so
missed
from
back
home,
breathtaking
and
lost
for
words
and
for
me
that’s
saying
a
lot....
You
truly
forget
that
your
in
this
nature
reserve?
In
the
middle
of
Long
Beach.
I
could
go
on
for
days
will
say
as
you
walk
your
chosen
trail
you
will
see
signs
pointing
out
the
wildlife
or
insects
in
that
area.
Some
I’d
run
a
mile
if
I
had
seen
them,
great
opportunity
to
let
the
kids
see
some
things
they
normally
would
not.
Awesome
pictures
to
be
taken,
my
next
visit
I’m
bringing
my
big
camera
as
I
fell
for
El
Dorado
Nature
Center
in
a
big
way,
wish
I
had
found
sooner.
The
pictures
and
videos
I
have
are
amazing
and
are
truly
mesmerizing
to
me,
as
not
your
usual
day
out.
Totally
not
what
I
expected.
Highly
recommend
and
to
say
you’ll
love
every
minute
depending
on
your
trail,
is
only
the
start
in
my
opinion.
Enjoy
