Natural History Wanderings

DesertUSA  has a report for 3/17/15 for Death Valley

We rented a Jeep & went down the Green water Rd & up into Gold Valley. The road wasn’t too bad but definitely requires high clearance. The wildflower displays were incredible. Thick yellow carpets of Bigelow’s Coreopsis, lots of 5 Spot at the top of Willow Canyon, some paintbrush, and numerous pink, blue & white flowers I haven’t looked up yet. I’ve been coming to DV almost every year since 1983, and is the best I’ve seen (including 2005) not throughout the park, but Definitely on the east side of the Black mountains… Lots of green buds too – I’d guess the peak is a week or two away.
