Nice mountain meadow with lovely pastoral setting. Bring a picnic lunch. As well as the meadow itself there is a old farmhouse. There are restrooms at this park.
2pm Paint at Lee Wooden County Park. An undeveloped park with no facilities. It is a mere 5 minute drive from the Jewell meadows. A short walk on a flat, smooth and wide path brings us to a shady picnic table near a cool and mellow creek running between tall trees and rocks. There is a view of Fish hawk falls between the trees.
