This moderate hike follows a perennial stream. Expect to see red cinquefoil (Potentilla thurberi), large swaths of Rothrock’s basketflowers (Plectocephalus rothrockii) and numerous other species in bloom.This moderate hike follows a perennial stream cool and shady enough to support white fir, red-osier dogwood and Mimbres figwort . All those interested should meet a little before 8 a.m. in the south parking lot of the WNMU Fine Arts Center Theater for carpooling. One way travel time is approximately 40 minutes.
