Alot of animals of the forest call Brice Creek their home. They live in the water, in the trees, under the rocks, and in the ground. When you are there you can hear the birds singing in the trees, and see the fish swimming in the creek. If you are lucky you might even see a bear and her cub cooling off.
What you can do at Brice Creek?
On a hot summers the most relaxing activity to do is to jump into the cold water of the creek. Afterwards you can dry off in the sun on a rock. Maybe play a card game, read a book, or paint as you get warm again. Hopefully you find the sound of the water trickling down the stream, the smells of the cedar, and warmth of the sun as refreshing and tranquil as I do.
