Foothills - Sloan Bridge to Hatchery

This was my first time on this leg of the Foothills Trail.  Very easy 6 miles through the well maintentained trail.
Rattlesnake Plantain - Orchid Family
White-veined basal leaves and has small white flowers in summer.  Found in moist, wooded slopes at elevations up to 4,000 feet.  Stems can reach 10 - 15 inches.

Galax - This plant is widely known for its leaves which turn copper-red in winter and has white spike flowers in the Spring.  It's abundant in dry woods up to 5,000 feet elevation.

Bill - Always hard at work!
