North loop to rain tree


This is the standard route, out and back, from north loop trail head to rain tree and back. Except for the side trip to the high knob at the trail crest.




There were quite a number of flowers out at medium elevations. Snow patches were not melted yet along the crest.



Phlox



Double bladderpod?





Snow patch on the last switchback before the crest.



View of the snow remaining on Mt Griffith. A group from the club did make the summit on this day but reported a lot of snow and dangerous sections.



Bristlecone grove on the knob above the trail crest.


















Snow patch just before Rain Tree.
