This is was about a 2-mile hike with an elevation variance of 500 ft (7200-7700). Trail was completely clear of snow and muddy in a few places. Recent rain & snow made the areas quite moist. Although the weather was wet and windy elsewhere, it was remarkably calm and pleasant during the entire hike.
Mushroomers: Oak Trees had not begun to bud at this time, but
looked as though it would happen soon. One species of interest was some
Cryptoporus volvatus (MD 585)
growing on a small, dead Ponderosa Pine.
- Next trip will probably be weekend of April 24-25. Check Outings Index.
