North Fork Kern Track Link
Our friends Denise and Alison gave us a couple tips on flowers in the Kern River Valley, so off we went.

First stop was to see the Kelso Valley Monkeyflowers. They were wonderful. They are also microscopic. What a beautiful flower with such a
restricted range.

| A really awful photo, but it does show you the size |
Next stop was the North Fork of the Kern River. We ended up doing a very nice four mile loop through wonderful fields of gilia, goldfields, and owl’s clover. Visually it was amazing. It also smelled incredible.

| We think we can make a longer loop trip by going up this canyon. |
On our way home we stopped for a look at some baby blue
eyes near Mt. Mesa.
Wow they really are tiny!
