It was perfect weather to search for the new blooms on the trail. There were not a lot of wildflowers yet. They are just peaking out right now. I’m thinking in a few weeks we will see a major explosion of wildflowers. These beautiful flowers are what I discovered yesterday. This trail usually has a significant amount of flowers so the fact that they aren’t there yet just means it is coming.
