Today, the last series of images from my trek up Mt Konocti last May. I do still have a few photos I’m not including  because they’re very similar and/or because I would have to extend the series. And I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to move on to other topics! I’ll most likely share those images at a later date; but for now, the end of the trail.

Western redbud (Cercis occidentalis)

Pipestem Clematis AKA Virgin Bower (Clematis lasiantha) on the right [Thanks, Kathy!]

Where the road crosses private property, the public trail leads down these steps

Skirting an orchard, with purple vetch in the foreground

The gate was a welcome sight! I could see my car from here

The long, dusty drive down to the valley awaits
