SHE IS SHOWING IT OFF. ALEX: WE HAVE ALREADY MADE IT THROUGH THE GATE, WHICH YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ACCESS CODE TO GET TO. STILL A LITTLE DARK TO SEE MUCH. THE SUN IS ON ITS WAY UP. HOW CAN PEOPLE GET THIS GATE CODE? WHEN THEY SEE THIS WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO CALL. >> THEY CAN CALL JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FOREST AND PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR VEHICLE WE REQUEST THEY GIVE 24 HOUR NOTICE TO VISIT. >> WHEN THEY COME, WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE JEWEL OF THE HIKE. TELL ME ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO GET TO THE PARKING LOT. >> I WOULD SUGGEST YOU MAKE IT A LEISURELY HIKE. THERE IS SO MUCH TO SEE ALONG THE PATH. WE ARE THE WATERFALL, WHICH IS NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE PATH. THE PATH DOES GO ON FOR A GOOD DISTANCE. WHEN YOU REACH THE END, THERE IS A CIRCLE WHERE YOU TURN AROUND. YOU SEE A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS. A LOT OF ROCK FORMATIONS. A LOT OF DIVERSITY OF THE PLANTS AND TREES. YOU CAN SEE ALL KINDS OF PLANTS AND BUGS. IT IS VERY INTERESTING. >> WHEN PEOPLE COME, IT IS A LEISURELY HIKE, SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO BE REPAIRED FOR ANYTHING TO -- HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING TOO INTENSE. THEY CAN ALSO VOLUNTEER. WE HAVE GABBY, THE COORDINATOR. TELL ME HOW PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED. A KIND OF STUFF WOULD BE DOING? >> A LOT OF THE STUFF WOULD BE PICKING UP LITTER AND MAKING SURE THE TRAIL STAYS CLEAN AND WALKABLE. THERE IS A WAY TO REPORT TRAIL PROBLEMS WE ARE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE WILL HAVE THAT UP AND GOING. PEOPLE CAN LET US KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER, PLEASE GO TO JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FOREST’S WEBSITE. SUBMIT AN APPLICATION.
