I took an afternoon walk on the Cowiche Canyon Uplands today from the Scenic Dr trailhead.  I walked the East Uplands Trail about half-way into the canyon and back.  It's pretty dry and brown now, but there were still lots of purple sage and desert buckwheat (at least 4 species) in bloom along with some linear-leaf and cushion daisies.  The afternoon was sunny and hot with a nice breeze at times.
