Quiet and pleasant walk, we learn a lot about the fauna and flora of the region and the old quarry. Cheap visit, only downside mosquitoes, put on pants and mosquito repellent.

Really awesome experience. Warning some of the paths contain a lot of big spiders hanging on webs Over the paths. (For the ppl who aren't huge spiders fans) we went when it was raining a little so gotta be careful of the poison oak trees but I really recommend checking it out. There is alot to read about. It's also really cool seeing the fossilized coral.

After the brown sing that said windley fosil park the second gate to the right if you are going from miami. There a gate that is closed the next one. Be very slowly at least half mile before arriving because is a sharp right and people drive like animals and don't keep distance. I recommend use your GPS for safety measures. The entrance is $2.00 x person. Very lovely place and a lot to learn.
