"To support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by providing opportunities for people to connect with nature through projects, programs and events." |
There was good weather and 14 people on our trip to the sisters. We scrambled up the ridge to the base and around the top level to see cushion daisy and balsamroot before heading down the back side with the mosses and lichens along the wall. Along the bottom we saw Tidy tip daisies and other sand loving plants before checking out the Western Juniper and heading back. Lots of good views and company.
