Hiking, day 41: Sandstone Ranch

Now that my work schedule is changing, I'm hoping to get back to hiking more often!  I hit up one of my usual trails this morning, but didn't stay long due to the diminished air quality from the forest fires on the west coast.  To illustrate, here's a shot of what my view was today, compared to a photo from a few months ago:

Some old tagging in the rocks that I hadn't noticed before.  I believe the date reads as 1944.

The butterflies seem to like these flowers, too. You can also see some of the fossils in the background.
