I wussed out. Trail Guy asked if I was okay, and I responded, “a little light-headed”. I hate that. We went as far as the wildflowers. You saw them last Friday, but here they are again, because they were spectacular. (I know I already used that word – it fits.)

Did you make it as far as Groundhog Meadow? I bet the stream was impressive there! And I’ve never seen the first 1/2 miles of the Timber Gap trail so green! Usually, all I see is sagebrush.
And I agree–rain at Mineral King is very cool. The sound of raindrops on an un-insulated roof is special!
Sharon, we always turn toward Timber Gap rather than heading toward Groundhog/Monarch/Sawtooth. It’s all about the flowers.
How long is the trail? (that’s a white crowned sparrow)
Donna, thank you for the name! I thought it was a Mountain Chickadee. . . but I am in weak in birds. It is about 2 miles to Timber Gap from the trailhead.
