The morning started slowly due to the overcast skies and winds but things picked up later in the morning and it turned out to be a great day!

 

On the way down I ran in to a group that was looking at wildflowers and they pointed out a rare parasitic plant along the trail leading up from the bottom gate.

It was called One-flowered Cancer Root (Orobanche uniflora) and was very cool.  Here is a link to some web info

There were also four Red Fox cubs at the top parking lot, cavorting and have a grand time!
