Jeanne did a great job sharing with us the Old Zoo Nature Trail. Thanks so much for whetting our appetite to take a walk on the wild side. And here are a few more from Jeanne.
The zoo is to the left and rocks that-a-way! Let’s go to the boulders first. 🙂
The Balancing Rock and Jeff taking a break.
Next the Cougar Rock! The sign says a cougar was seen here in 1969. That would have been exciting! Now the old zoo.
If you remember and read the map photo in the “I missed it” post, it said there were eleven medallions. The group found three of them. Here is the cougar medallion.
First medallion found, however was the monkey.
Third was the giraffe. I hope the others are still there. Sounds like a little treasure hunt if you go. 🙂
Apparently this sign was to help with plant ID?
Animal housing!
Perhaps two separate animal houses.
Of course, there is graffiti now. 🙁
So can you imagine what it was like way back in the day? Perhaps it was the first time for some folks to see these animals.
Pano view!
What a wonderful photo tour of the Old Zoo Nature Trail! A big thank you to the volunteers that took on this project.
Also a big thank you to Jeanne! It was the next best tour without actually be there in person. Indeed, I look forward to visiting in person someday soon.
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know

That really does look like a great place. And the deforestation is just very sad. Guess theres just no way to stop it all. Thanks for the articles and the pictures.
Beautiful rock work for animal enclosures. Nice that they have these trails cleared to go observe some history. Thanks Jeanne for photographing this trip for us!

The tree labeled “tree” was leaning across the trail, so we think it was more of a warning against banging your head than an ID attempt.
Maybe they could add “tree duck”? 😉
We think the tree sign was on that tree since it leaned over the trail quite low – a warning not to bump your head!
It was nice of them not to cut it down. 🙂
