All the wildflowers without the crowds. We were one of four cars in the late afternoon when we started, one of two when we left around sunset.
Starts with a long steady climb up a wide trail, probably 800-1000’ish + over approx 2 miles. No shade.
We did the Spring Canyon loop clockwise, which meandered through trees and flower-covered hillsides. A steep dusty climb and descent; poles would help for those sections, but we didn’t use ours.
No ticks or rattlesnakes, but we saw a lizard and lots of deer. Two bounding through the flowers at Little Bear in golden hour lighting was pretty magical. Many many more in the meadows near the parking lot.
