| Comments | Took the trail up to the arch. Along the short trail from the southeast corner of the corral that goes up to the arch there were:
* Oaks toothwort (Cardamine pulcherrina?)
* Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis).
Further up the trail just near one of the boulders below the arch were: * Smooth desert parsley (Lomatium laevigatum) * Smooth Prairie Star (Lithophragma glabra) * Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) about to bloom.
In the area above the arch were:
* Grass widows (only saw purple ones)
* Western Saxifrage (Saxifraga occidentalis) and
Small-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora)
* Gold Stars (Crocidium multicaule) and Smooth Prairie Star (Lithophragma
glabra)
* Piper's Desert Parsley a/k/a Salt-and-pepper (Lomatium piperi) and Spring Whitlow-grass |
