Report:
With only 4 hikers, we were fortunate to be allowed to take the van. Leaving the Center at just before 8:30 am, we arrived at the parking area at approximately 9:20 am having narrowly avoided hitting a doe who attempted to cross in front of us while on the drive up the mountain. It was a cool day with a slight breeze. There were few wildflowers remaining but we spotted purple aster, Indian Paintbrush, and Yarrow. Upon reaching Del Agua overlook, we paused for a brief snack while we admired the view. The trek back was a bit more arduous, being mostly uphill. On our drive down the mountain we spotted two bucks at the side of the road. We arrived at the Center at 1:30 pm. Thank you Joe for driving.
