It has been some years now that I actually went down the trail. In the next two weeks the wildflowers will begin to bloom and there will be a riot of color.

I am not able to hike now so I went to the visitors center to find the gate locked and I was not able to see any of the exhibits my friend said was there. I have been there on three or four occasions and always on the wrong day apparently because I've never seen it open. I'll try and include a picture here of the cedar bark houses the Indian tribes used. You can see that they were mostly enclosed. I think keeping them open is for our edification so that we can see what was there. The granite rock behind the structures also has a number of pounding holes I don't know what else to call them.
