Springtime in the Pinnacles

Yesterday I spent a glorious day with friends hiking in Pinnacles National Park, San Benito County (east of Monterey County). Shooting Stars (left) were at their peak along with my favorite spring flower, Baby Blue Eyes. Don't miss a moment to get out and explore California's beauty. We saw 40 flowering species in 6 miles of strolling in the park. Chocolate lilies are also at their peak in Morro Bay State Park on the eastside's Crespi Trail. Montana de Oro State Park has a splendid display of  Sticky Phacelia in the burn area off Coon Creek Trail along with more than 50 species in bloom now along Rattlesnake/Coon Creek trails. Get Out!
