Botany Canyon Trail
You park near here on the side of the road. Not much parking space, and the ATVs use this trail so you cannot block this road.
In the beginning the trail splits several times - always seem to end up together though.
So many different types of flowers along the road.
Passed a lot of muddy waterways along the road. Most ok to get around.
Walk on the road/ATV trail for about 1.25 miles before you go on the trail turn off.
These pretty flowers just in this spot.
The canyon we will be going down into.
Looking back from where we just came.
The trail down to the canyon begins here. We originally missed it and walked another 1/4 mile down the road before we turned around.
Very rocky all the way down - glad we brought our hiking poles.
Saw several of these flowers in the canyon on the way down.
Goes down quite a ways.
At the bottom hit a waterway that looks like it turns into a road. Would not want to be here during a rainstorm.
More trails keep dividing.
Entering The Wetlands.
Trail is not too obvious.
Skirt the rock wall.
Feels like you are in the northwest part of the country in here - like Washington State.
Don’t believe the sticks are holding up the rock, but who knows?
