I went to The Bluff Trail on a very wet Saturday, June 6, 2015 to greet hikers on behalf of WRWEO, the organization that maintains The Bluff Trail. I met only four people over 4 hours, so I had lots of time to enjoy the wildflowers and textures of plants on The Bluff Trail. A few that caught my attention are shown below. A YouTube Video offers more description and context. - David P Click on photos for larger versions. | Goldthread |
