Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center
The Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center is located in the Greens area of Coos County, USA.

We had a fun day driving through and seeing various parks in the area. Cleveland National Park is 460,000 acres (720 sq miles). There are also some nice areas for pretty desert views.
