Beautiful, quiet, open spaces.

We spent 4 days out here. We only saw about 20 people on our entire trip. We didn't have to wait for people to decide where they wanted to go. It was almost like we were the only people in the Preserve. IT WAS GREAT!!!!

We took our time and enjoyed every mile of it.

We visited here in November, so it wasn't terrribly hot or cold. But the wind did kick up quite a bit once the sun went down.
