Pushing aside a tangle of falling vines, you find yourself on a trail deep in an unexplored area of the Emerald Forest. Passage to the north and south are blocked by clustered thickets of sagebrush and rosemary. The cheerful croaking of a tree-frog catches your eat, accompanied by the soprano trill of a swallow and an acapella team of bush insects. The trail allows travel to the east and west.
