CommentsHiked the trail from the Viewpoint to Tom McCall Point and to the next "peak" beyond. From bottom to top there were Balsamroot and Lupines blooming. Also saw many Paintbrush along the trail. Along the section of trail from Tom McCall Point heading (first down) then up to the next peak/plateau saw Chocolate Lillies, Prairie Stars, and more Lupines and Balsamroot. Also saw Larkspur, Desert Parsley, and many other flowers I do not yet know. There's also a lot of poison oak along the trail especially in the oak tree sections including some hard to not brush against patches on one or both sides of the trail :-(
