Well, the desert is really blooming and I coaxed the family up the steep trail to look at the beautiful colors before the summer dries up Badger Mountain. It was a little windy (see the grass picture) but we had a great hike. I'm not sure of all the names of these flowers but I hope you enjoy them. The trail is from the Country Ridge area of Richland. It's a steep trail, that's why I like it. It gives me a good workout. Normal time to the top is 18 minutes or so. I hope to improve my times throughout the year. Enjoy the flower pictures and I included a Google Earth overlay of my GPS route. If you know the area, you'll see how outdated the image is as there are several homes now in the trailhead area.
