The Visitor Center told us that they are family to Isak Heartstone (who is currently in Breckenridge, CO). And yes, the whole family is worth seeing! The Bernheim trails are well maintained and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. Fantastic stop! We'll be back when temps are lower.

Giant trolls in a giant forest. They are pretty neat. Don't pass them by. We saw Little Nis (not one bit little) and Mama Loumari.

Three giant wooden sculptures. Not sure how long they will be staying.
