This is a very pretty national park and as you drive through it on the winding roads, you could easily be in the meadows of the Swiss Alps.

Flower-filled fields and forests
Absolutely gorgeous to hike in - bring good shoes, plenty of sunscreen and be prepared for mud, flies / bugs / forest-related nuisances.
