Today's PHOC hike was led by Ken Yates. We had 13 participants. Flowers abounded today. I was thrilled to see lots of Fire Pink, a few Pink Lady Slippers, Foam Flowers, May Apples, Ramps, Showy Orchis, lots of nice tall Canada Violets, Geranium, Columbine and some type of Bellwort, maybe Wild Oats.
It was a warm day. Along the ridge we were subjected to breezy condition with some very strong gusts. For about a mile prior to entering the rock jumble (Rock Castle) there is Trillium field extending as far as you can see up and down the mountainside. The Trillium appeared to be just past prime as there were many old pink petals.
We ran into the usual number of hikers. Everyone seemed to be enjoying a great day in a great place.
