Today, we had a nice turnout of seven hikers for a hike on a beautiful day. I thought our last hike was one of the best ever for wildflowers, but this one was even better. If you like wildflowers, this is the place to be. We took the lower trail and found a spur trail that we took just to look at all the flowers. It was magnificent. We followed this spur until it reached the road and then turned back. Going back was like a new trail as the prespective was entirely different and we found views that we had missed. We rejoined the main trail and continued for some distance until we decided to turn around and retun. I would rate this hike as moderately easy with a distance of 3.75 miles. Due to the stops for picture taking our moving average speed for the first part of the trail was a record slow pace of 0.8 mph. We later picked up the pace and our final moving average was 1.6 mph which was still very slow. Our hike leader patiently let us continually stop for more pictures. Excellent hike!
