If you've never been there before, we like to drive slow and stop at all the stops. I would say and hour and 1/2. If you'd like to do a little walking, there is a short nature hike..add another 1/2 hour. It is so pretty.

One talks about how a lot of the plants were almost destroyed by ranching and how it was stopped.
