A Fine HIke on Cabra Loop Trail

Almost didn't go on this hike today because I thought the trail would be plenty sloppy from yesterday's snowfall.  It was wet and slippery in places so I was glad I changed at the last minute into waterproof shoes.  The snow-covered parts were a delight to walk upon, though.

We were a group of 11 undertaking our annual Pasque flower pilgrimage.  We found some beauties but I wonder how many were still buried under the snow.   Saw some perky Sue and Easter daisies too.

This is from Beanfield Mesa looking west across the canyon where the western section of the Cabra Loop Trail travels.  The mesa top above the cliffs is northeast of Guaje Pines Cemetery.
