Spent Easter with my daughter's family in Vale. They live close to the Loma Alta trailhead. After coffee and a pop tart (yikes) I hit the trail.
From the Loma Alta trailhead I hiked the Hope Camp trail 2.3 miles, then up the Quilter trail. I wanted to get at least as far as I got last year when I hiked this same trail. I ended up a half mile further than last year. I turned around when I saw heavy rain falling in front of Rincon Peak. Fortunately, I avoided the rain save a little sprinkle.
Highlight of the hike was the wildflower show. By far the best I've seen this year. Quilter trail is in great shape.
Chatted with a thru hiker from Vermont, then two more resting by a creek.
Awesome day on the Quilter trail.
