“To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see. Words cannot convey the scale of a view that is so stunning it is felt.”
– Eleanor Catton
Bring your cameras. While it might be hard to find the words to describe exactly what you will experience, your camera will definitely capture the moment. Giant granite boulders, mountains that are the remnants of ancient volcanoes and sandstone formations that were once at the bottom of a prehistoric ocean create a natural beauty rarely found in a single county. These formations are surrounded by forests and streams extending the flow of beauty for miles.
