This morning we drove about ten miles up the road into the mountains to Hyde State Park for a walk. There is a real forest up there at the slightly higher elevation. Lots of Ponderosa pine and aspen and short shrubby oaks and rocky mountain maple. There is a nice path system and our 4 mile path looped down and around the hills. There were lots of familiar wildflowers, although probably different species than back east - false solomon's seal, sundrops, wild clematis, scarlet penstemon, pussytoes. And some new flowers like the bright red scarlet gilia, also called skyrockets!
