| no partners | | This was my fourth hike after heart surgery, starting from Williamson Valley Trailhead like the first three hikes. I wanted to do six miles, so I didn't get to go as far down Tin Trough Springs Trail #308 as I would have liked. On the route, you can see where I didn't see an easy way to ford a tributary of Mint Creek on the way west. Once I got across, there was no easy way to return to the trail, so I ended up doing a little bouldering to avoid the desert holly. The photos include views of Mint Creek and the tributary, as well as the lone flower I saw. |

Wildflowers Observation Isolated Mostly seed heads from last fall, but there was one small flower on the trail. |
