#4 - The Elephants
This walk is less that a mile and should take only 30 minutes.
To find the entrance to the zoo begin at the intersection of I-90 and Rte. 195 South, (Exit 279).
Follow Route 195,( South Inland Empire Hwy) for approximately 3.9 miles.
Turn right on South Meadow Lane Rd. Then immediately turn left to stay on S. Meadow Lane.
Then take 1st right on Eagle Ridge Blvd. Turn left into the Sales office parking lot.
Your quest begins in the back right corner at the “Trail Start” sign. Start up the path and turn right to the “No Swimming” sign. Turn right again toward the road, past the “Eagle Ridge” Falls and continue along the front-side of the pond. Pass the bench and “Duck” sign. Enjoy the fountains and look for the ducks. You might even be lucky enough to spot the Great Blue Heron hiding among the tall grasses and cattails along the edge of the pond.
Carefully cross the road and pick up the trail on the other side behind the maintenance building. Pass the “No Motorized Vehicles” sign on right and the “2.75 m” sign on the left. Cross the large paved circle and you will come to a clearing on your right. You will leave the paved trail here and start up this path that looks like it might have been made by construction vehicles. Bear left at the fork.
You will come to an area where young small pines are beginning to grow in the center of the pathway. From the first 2 little pines count about 15 to 18 steps to a small clump of new pines. There should be a 6-8 foot long, slender “blond” dead branch across the trail. Look to your left. There is a multi- stemmed bush growing in front of an older pine that is about 5’ up the bank. (There should also be a dead branch next to the bush that resembles an antler and points to the tree.) In case these “signs” have been removed, just count the 15 to 18 steps.
You will find the Elephants hiding in their house behind the tree. Please be on the lookout for ants that we observed nearby, and be aware that the pine needles can be very slippery.
When you are done stamping and have re-hidden the box, retrace your steps back to the parking lot.
