Went up Angels Landing twice this last week. Second time to do Lower Refrigerator yesterday in blustery but not-raining conditions. All anchors there looked great. Recent footprints showed SOMEONE had done it recently…
From a bloom point of view, things are getting ready to start, but not much is out yet. On the lower switchbacks, saw a few flowers including:
– Zion Milkvetch (purple pea-type flowers, low to the ground, most prominent flower at the moment)
– Western Wallflower (cluster of yellow, four-petaled flowers, mostly isolated individuals, some in clumps, second-most prominent at the moment)
– Slickrock Paintbrush (red paintbrush, close to the ground. A few here and there)
– Yellow sweet clover (I think. Spreading leaves, small yellow flowers pea-like)
Driving, on the side of the road near the Museum, there was:
– Cliffrose (flowering bush, LOTs of white blooms. Very strong “rose” smell).
Then last night it snowed, so…
