I may be biased since I’m a March baby, but spring is my favorite time of the year. The pleasantly warm days, sunny skies, and flower blooms enrich my hikes and daily life. Pictured is my favorite California wildflower — lupine! Keep an eye out for this beauty blooming bountifully (alliteration 🙌) in the Bay Area!
Happy Monday! 🌊 Pictured is the gorgeous California coastline as viewed from the Palomarin Trail at Point Reyes National Seashore. Who else is looking forward to hiking this weekend? 🙋🏻‍♀️
I was so excited to catch some blooming giant trillium on this afternoon’s walk! In the last quarter mile, we were greeted by 5 or 6 of them blooming in a shaded, damp area. Aptly named, trillium comes in 3 — check out the 3 leaves, 3 sepals, and 3 petals as shown in this photo! 🌱
Went on a quick 2-mile hike in Huckleberry Boatnic Regional Preserve this afternoon. The preserve is well-signed and has informative plaques describing the native plant species featured in the park. We learned a lot and were serenaded by Wilson’s warblers and Bewick’s wrens all along the way.
🚨Please note!🚨There is no “official” Alamere Falls trail and the way over can be dangerous. Please review more information from the National Park Service regarding planning a visit: https://www.nps.gov/pore/planyourvisit/alamere_falls.htm
Light filtering through the trees at the start of the Matt Davis Trail. Here, we followed the Matt Davis Trail starting from the Pantoll Ranger Station. We descended down the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais, crossing bridges and small waterfalls while noticing the marked changes in plant life with change in elevation. The trail ends at Stinson Beach where hikers are greeted by a good food and a bustling little community. Gorgeous trail and great hike!
