Auburn State Recreation Area

Waiting for the guide to fetch his camera

*
Spring Vetch *
Dog Rose

*
This trail spur was new to me

*
That roadway is the result of political and environmental shortsightedness

*
Heading down to the river

*
North Fork American River

I was mistaken about the river's name; according to the map, it is the Middle Fork that was assimilated upstream.

*
The trail is barely passable

*
Bush Monkeyflower *
Pacific Stonecrop in the making

*
Lunch at Tamaroo Bar

*
A 400-foot climb to help the digestion

*
A few jokers have inscribed their initials in the lichen

*
Brandegee's Clarkia *
Madia grove

*
Nifty footbridge

*
Morning Glories *
Bridges' Brodiaea

*
Excitement off the trail

*
Everything seems to be under control

Scenery *
Difficulty *
Solitude *
