We went up the Holder Ridge Trail, started up around the Knob, then cut over to Road K hoping to loop back to the trailhead via the Holder Creek Trail. Alas, the Holder Creek Trail is closed. Returned via Roads K and A for a hike of about 7.25 miles.
Today's reward was the spectacular display of Fox Glove on the ridge along the park boundary, near the junction of Road K and the upper end of the Holder Creek Trail. The pink and white spikes visible through the trees took us by surprise. The open view of the full ridge was breathtaking. I have seen Fox Glove in many disturbed areas, but I've never before seen a display this grand. Go now!
