Stile Ranch/Mine Trail Wildflowers, Santa Teresa Park, 3/20/22 by Ronald Horii
This is a continuation of a wildflower hike on the Mine/Fortini/Stile Ranch loop.
(This is the first part of the hike on the Mine and Fortini Trails: https://tinyurl.com/2p88uwe7.)
This is the second part of the hike on the Stile Ranch and Mine Trails. I hiked this route earlier this year on 2/25/22, where you can see what wildflowers were out earlier in the season: https://tinyurl.com/3rwbxhuw. The poppies were just starting to come out on the switchbacks then. They are at their peak now. To see wildflowers on the other side of the park, see: https://tinyurl.com/2fehvyp3.
