Another pleasant surprise was Birkdale Ravine, both serene and peaceful. After a bit of searching we found where the cherry blossom trees were located (don’t give up if you can’t find them at first). Although these Sakura are a bit younger and were only partially bloomed, they were still beautiful and this location will only get more impressive in the coming seasons.
