    Another exciting adventure option is a visit to Moon Canyon. After a short drive to a grassy field, guests will begin a scenic hike along a winding path over rocks and boulders. The trail continues around trees, across logs, and over the creek as you make your way past a small dam.Guests will navigate around giant boulders to reach a geologically unique area where the creek bed is formed from rock and sand compressed together over thousands of years. This is a great place to play in the creek, explore, take photos, or enjoy a snack surrounded by the beauty of the canyon.
