Mine/Fortini Trail Wildflowers, Santa Teresa Park, 3/20/22 by Ronald Horii
On 3/20/22, I went for a wildflower hike on the Mine/Fortini/Stile Ranch loop, starting from the Pueblo Area. These are pictures from the first part of the hike, on the Mine and Fortini Trails. (See here for the second part of the hike on the Stile and Mine Trails: https://tinyurl.com/467zmdr3.) You can see what wildflowers were out earlier in the season in this album from a hike on this route on 2/25/22: https://tinyurl.com/3rwbxhuw. To see wildflowers on the other side of the park, see: https://tinyurl.com/2fehvyp3. Here are more pictures of Santa Teresa Park: http://www.stpfriends.org/#newpictures.
Here's Santa Teresa Park information and map: https://parks.sccgov.org/santa.../santa-teresa-county-park. The Mine Trail is part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail.
