When we went to Catoctin Mountain, where Camp David happens to be located, we talked about the nature all around us, took a quick tour of the Visitor's Center which had a nice little bookstore and stuffed wildlife that one may encounter there. There was also a large section of an old tree which detailed the rings and subsequent age of the tree. We didn't observe any wildlife on our 2.8 mile round trip walk to Cunningham Falls, but we did see mushrooms, downed trees and their roots, moss, rocks, millipedes (er....does that count as wildlife?), and simply enjoyed the time together as family hiking on a trail listening to the sounds of nature.
