A stroll across rolling volcanic
tableland cloaked in blue oak savanna (with a few juniper).
And out to a rocky
outcrop on the edge of Iron Canyon. This is where the
Sacramento River comes out of the hills and enters the
Great Central Valley.
The Sacramento is an
important salmon route, and is California's first or second
largest river.
South from here it is flat
for about 435 miles to Grapevine, at the south end of the
Great Central Valley.
----------------
Flowers peak in late March.
Look for cowbag clover,
fiddleneck, birds eye gilia, popcorn flower, California
goldfields, Johnnytuck, fillaree, bluedicks, fryingpans,
lupine (2 species), valley shooting star, & lomatium.
You can look these up online on UC Berkeley's
Calflora.
