While you might be tempted to just cut to the chase and take pics and leave, it's worth taking the time to read the informative (if sometimes overly didactic) signs along the path. One of the signs explains that 4 out of 5 people live in cities where nature is an afterthought if even thought of at all. It further goes on to hypothesize that perhaps if we raised our children more in tune with and appreciative of nature, perhaps we would be more protective of the earth and nature.
