Pine Ridge trail from China Camp to Church Creek divide is spectacular with numerous lupine species and swaths of numerous other flowers. Slopes tinted deep pink with spine flowers and speckled with poppies. Some species such as scarlet bugler not out yet, but warming weather will start to diminish overall display after the June 5-6 weekend. Of course warmer weather also brings out the flying insects.
Soberanes Point and Canyon - Coastal shrubbery starting to put on nice displays of yellow. Canyon has shrubbery and clarkias starting to flower.
