Beautiful park and lots of wildlife

Enjoyed a difficult but fun hike, went fishing, and camped out in group site 3 which is the one with the most shade. Keep watch on the ground to not accidentally step on a snake. They do have Timber Rattlesnake but they are so rare I didn't see one. Mostly water snakes, one was sleeping in the path and I almost stepped on him! Saw a mink on trout run creek, and a tortoise in the river in the South picnic area from the bridge. Didn't have much luck fishing. Only nibbles but no catches. A doe dropped by our group site and there are golden eagle nests at the top of the Pine trees behind the group sites next to the trail that goes to the beach. Very eventful trip, and a great view at inspiration point if you have the energy to get there!
