Treasure in the Woods

The real treasure at the "Mountain House" (to us) isn't in the house, it's in the woods. This entire area is both a "nature sanctuary" and one of the best examples of "harmony with nature" I've ever seen.
It's not unusual to see eagles, falcons, fox, bear, beaver, bobcats, and porcupines in this area. This is a VERY diverse place and hiking here can allow the early walker to see and experience it all. They have an excellent nature program here and we've been fortunate to view several different ones while staying here.
On our last trip , we were again fortunate enough to find this fellow giving a lecture and slide show: "Global Learning Inc."

Our favorite way to enjoy the Mountain House is to spend a day outdoors.

The shortest hike to a nice overlook is here.

Marilyn and I can spend an entire day hiking in these woods.
