I decided to do a hike close to home today, and this one fit the bill.

I did this lasso loop CCW by going out on the Lower Sonoran Trail and coming back on the Sonoran Trail. Before starting the loop I added an out-and-back hike on the North Leg Trail.

I started early and beat the rain.

Wildflowers Observation Light
The north leg trail had some decent wildflowers -- lupine, fiddlenecks, scorpion weed, and blue richards. The 2 Sonoran trails did not have much though. No brittle bush is blooming in this area yet. It is a bit early yet for many wildflowers in this area, but I think that things will pick up later in the month.
