| no partners | | My hiking partner, Mary Jo, wanted a flat trail so she wouldn't further damage an injured knee, and this one worked out to a tee.
We left from the west end of the parking lot at the 40th St TH shortly after 5 o'clock, and proceeded SW until we hit the Christiansen Trail (#100), then up a gentle slope for maybe a mile before turning back.
Saw two birds of note, a Roadrunner about 40 yards off trail and a Gambel's quail taking an unusual position atop a snag at sunset. Wildflowers plentiful, particularly large splotches of desert bluebell under trees along the several ravines that ply through here. Saw six riders on horseback, all sauntering along the #100.
One of the nicest evenings I can recall, and I think I found the temperature range I like best, 78-80, and no wind. |

Wildflowers Observation Moderate Bluebells in ravines and dying fiddleneck everywhere along with a smattering of lily. |
