I was looking for an early morning hike close to home, and opted to do this one again.

There weren't many people out on the trail -- I saw 3 other hikers, a trail runner, and a mountain biker.

There was a nice breeze blowing at Bell Pass, so I sat there for a few minutes to enjoy the breeze and scenery.

I saw a good size gopher snake go across the trail in front of me on my way back; he wasn't interested in posing for a pic so I did not get a photo.

Wildflowers Observation Light
There are still some wildflowers, but their colors aren't as vivid as they were a couple of weeks ago. Prickly pear cactus are starting to bloom, and bees are liking mesquite trees right now.
