This morning I took a hike up the Buena Vista trail. It’s the same hike I took with Sandy and Nancy in Sequoia late last year. The map says it’s one mile one way with a 600 foot increase in elevation and it did feel pretty much up up up the whole way.
This is mid-June and I’m thinking May would be wildflower mania around here. There are supposed to be wildflowers into June too but the ranger said there was so little snowfall this winter that the meadows are dried up and the wildflowers are gone.
