I had four trail hours today so I did a larger loop than usual. I started at Mockingbird Hill and headed towards the Prospect #3 junction. However, instead of turning here I continued ahead past the Webb Canyon junction and then turned left at a trail labeled “Cinnabar” on the park map. This took me up a short lateral to the Mine Hill Trail above Guadalupe Dam. From there it was up the hill to the summit, then down from English Camp to the trail junction and back to Mockingbird Hill. Whew.
New flowers are appearing all the time. Here are photos of some that I saw for the first time this week.
