Natural History Wanderings

Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association posted a new wildflower report for part of the Pacific Crest Trail in the Anza-Borrego Desert

If you want to see millions of gold-fields you can hike a part of the Pacific Crest Trail. We started close to mile 1, on the S22, and went north.  It takes about 1 hour to reach the first large field of gold-fields, but the temperature is much cooler here. This is also a hike were you can find Our Lord’s Candle, and they are blooming now.  Also very nice: baby blue eyes, silver puffs and bajada lupines. And you see lots of ground-squirrels.
