Romance is in the air...this is probably the most beautiful and scenic place in Blossom Forest. For the athletic and determined to come with their mates, for time away from pups. Only adults may come here; some of the ledges are too far apart for teens or pups to cross and some too high to scale.

She turned the nape of her neck to turn to the right. It had been quite dark before, due to the branches overhead blocking out any lights that would seeped through and seek to lighten the canopies floor.
