Short hike to get to the dune, beautiful

We got to see a few gators really close to the walkway which was cool and scary, but overall we saw a lot of birds, a couple snakes, and a few gators. We didn’t get to see any bison or wild horses. Overall mostly loose gravel but an easy walk.

Not really a hike, tourist-spot

Many exposed spots on the mountain, with rail.

This was my first backpacking trip and I went with a friend and an experienced adult. We stayed for two nights, the first on a bluff between Donner’s Point and Fredrickson’s past cat hole. Beautiful sunset. The second night we spent right by Bournique’s, which is past the cemetery and got up to see the sunrise. Overall great experience, would recommend. Pretty easy hike.
