Hood Mountain Entry #4 April 28th

Knowing the names for the grasses I am finding I have a greater appreciation for the ground cover. Finally made it up to the peak. On the way to the top I found the meadow I keep hearing about and got into chaparral at the top. I think I may also have passed the pygmy forest. Lots of new plants to find at the to including blackberry, Arctostaphylos, and Cupressus. A couple of the plants in the meadow were Eschscholzia and Stachys.
