Apr 30 Husky Gap

 


Due to limited parking, we boarded a bus at Sugarlands Visitor Center for the short drive to the Husky Gap Trailhead. It turned out to be kids day. All the young botanists with kids attending Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage, brought them along for this shortish hike up and back. The kids ran wild and didn't pay much if any attention to the botany commentary. Still, we managed to enjoy this hike. The Canada Violets were huge. As were the grape vines.





At the conclusion of the hike, some of us, walked on the nearby quiet walkway to see this Dutchmans Pipe vine in bloom.
