Then changed my mind and I'm back home (very fear of forest nymphs)

The yellow flowers are pungent desert-parsely (Lomatium grayi). It lives up to the "pungent" name; the air is permeated with its unique odor.

Despite the dry landscape, shaded cliffs that get seepage can still be luxuriantly mossy.

The route was along an abandoned railroad grade. Some relics of the old railroad are still there, like this speed sign.
