Weldon Wagon Road — Saturday, Apr. 20, 2019

We were 1-2 weeks early for peak bloom. Grand-Hound's Tongue was prevalent in the wooded areas of the trail. Chocolate lillies, small flowerd blue eyed Mary, yellow desert parsley, balsamroot, Columbia desert parsley, prairie stars, manroot (wild cucumber), and yellow violets were some of the flowers blooming. Balsamroot and Columbia desert parsley were just beginning to bloom. Yellow desert parsley was the most prevalent flower. We saw a 12 Inch lizard, two small snakes and a Douglas squirrel eating an acorn. Poison ivy is beginning to leaf out and there is a lot of it along the trail. There were two areas with many chocolate lilies near each other.  We met 12 other people enjoying the beautiful sunny day.
