Almaden Quicksilver North, Wildflowers and Views, 2/15/22 by Ronald Horii
On a sunny, but cool and clear day on 2/15/22, I went for a hike in Almaden Quicksilver County Park on the Senador Mine, Guadalupe, and New Almaden Trails. Even though we haven't had rain for over a month and a half, the hills are still green. The warm weather has been causing some wildflowers to come out early. I wanted to see what flowers were blooming and what views I could see on this clear day. There were lots of people out hiking, but it wasn't as busy as on the weekends.
