This inclusive trail along the popular Buhl Lake Loop features two scale model displays of the solar system can be enjoyed by both campers and day-use guests year round.
Guests walk along the 2.5-mile trail at their own pace, pausing at the 10 individual planet stops. Each stop features an interpretive sign and a three-dimensional planet scaled to size. There are QR codes that link to NASA for additional information. The trail proceeds in a counter-clockwise direction, the same as the planets orbit the sun.
