Should Experience
I had seen something on Facebook about this and then investigated it more. The exit off the interstate indicates Snake Alley. The route to the area was marked well with little signs. It was a quick fun experience and the landscaping is very pretty. One of those if in the area and have a little time I encourage you to do it. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make us smile and remember the experience.

Drive Down at your Own Risk!
Easily traversed by foot but not car. We were not about to try driving down with the CRV. I can see how biking up would give one a good workout. For me, it was a trip to the base where my maternal ancestors once ran a boarding house.
