 | Comments: |
These trails tend to drain well and have thus far after the super rainy start to May. Still, some areas of running water and mud.
Purple violet in bloom, but did not see any columbine yet (saw it on Red Hill over the weekend).
Beautiful summer-like afternoon with sunny skies, a breeze, and temperatures in the upper 70s. |
