| partners | | Denny was not able to join us for the pre NYE hike earlier this week, so we fashioned this one to keep our string of 15 years going.
We started with temps in the 40's, as the sun was rising in the orange sky. We did the CCW loop and saw very very people until the last 2 miles of the hike.
Everything that is normally brown is a lush green. The brittlebush is confused an is in full bloom. Also a smattering of Poppies, Lupine, Desert Globemallow, Penstemon are making an appearance.
We made a stop at the Balanced Rock area to check it out. Getting closer to the TH and later in the morning, the trail started getting busier with bikes, hikers and horses.
Good catching up with the Turtle again and keeping the string alive. |

Wildflowers Observation Moderate
The brittlebush thinks it's springtime. Some lupine, poppies and other assorted wildflowers. |

Thank you for your service.
Nevertheless, this trail had some some good variety. I have not been on any of these trails before, so it was nice to try something new.
Bob led the charge. 
Denny swept the route. 
A lot more pokey flora than expected but I always prepare for off trail delight.
