Event Details

Wildflowers abound along the 2.5 mile- loop trail, which runs through a variety of habitats: sagebrush scrub, pinyon woodland, aspen and cottonwood stands, and limestone outcrops. With gorgeous views of the lake and the multi-colored cliffs above, this easy trail is a wonderful place to spend the morning. We will see common wildflowers like wild rose, paintbrush, locoweeds, and evening primrose, as well as a few rare species known from just a couple locations in Mono County. We might even spot a few birds! From Highway 395, take paved Convict Lake Road up the hill and turn left at the lake. Park in the large parking lot at the entrance to the campground, where Ann will meet you. Wear sturdy shoes. Bring snacks and water. There are bathrooms at the beginning and end of the trail.
