ATV's ready to take attendees on a tour of the new trail.  NOTE: Personal ATV's will not be allowed on the trail.  Only those used by the park rangers.

ATV returns from a trip on the new trail.

A winding section of the new trail.

One of 2 new ATV's that the park rangers will use to patrol and work in the new Preserve.  Much more economical and much better suited to the terrain than the huge pickup truck.
