The fact that this statue is illuminated is pretty cool, given that there is a huge rock face directly behind it and a lot of massive trees on the top of the rock face. There is some careful pruning at work here.
I feel that this sign fails in it's job to inform and suggest because it assumes that people will know which stone is the alter stone. There were a few good candidates, but it wasn't obvious to me. I'm guessing that people who could correctly identify the alter stone probably know not to climb on it.
We bought the tokens for the elevator to the top level.
I find this sign to be more effective. Perhaps the "alter stone" sign could be amended with something like (the big one in the middle) to make it more clear.We bought the tokens for the elevator to the top level.
It turns out that we could have just jumped the gate. We wouldn't, of course, but we could have.
There were a few trilliums in bloom.
There is a fabulous labyrinth which we both walked and enjoyed. On a hot day, walking the labyrinth would be a good activity, as the trees and shade probably make for a cool, quiet retreat.
There are Douglas Fir trees everywhere in the Grotto. However, this is the only one to get the sign.
On the way home, we stopped for lemonade, which was a very good deal, 50 cents for that huge cup of lemonade.
