A Google map shows the locations of nature-viewing areas, easy walks, and hikes in the region.  Here is the key to the map:

• Green pins for viewing flowers, trees, and other plants.
• Yellow pins for birding.
• Blue pins for scenery and geological features
• Red pins for animals other than birds
  
• Green lines for easy walks or hikes. 
• Blue lines for more challenging hikes.
  

Click on a pin or line for a description of the site or walk.  Use Google Maps features to view a satellite photo or get directions to the site.
