More about violets and high mountain trails.

During the spring, small-flowered phacelia, violets and saxifrage wildflowers are in full bloom, blanketing many parts of the trail. Bird watching and views of Pond Hollow and Fortunes Ridge are the treats of this rocky-footed hike.

Use caution in winter.
