“To acheive your Heart’s Desire, walk around the circle three times to the left…” so the shrine marker reads. To discover the rest of the enchantment be sure to visit the Heart’s Desire shrine.

Following the discovery of an injured fawn, Neal asked “friends to build this shrine as a symbol for protection of all woods creatures” (Bambi’s Shrine trail marker).

Nestled among the edge of the forest with a panoramic view of Muddy Mountain is the Woodland Theater.
