Near the top of Orr Springs Road where the views are terriffic
We did a great day hike at Jug Handle and walked the 6-mile trail. The Reserve is located north of Mendocino.
First was the loop along the Bluff trail...
...where the wildflowers were prolific and views sensational
The grounds were carpeted with goldfields and something that looks like butter and eggs
Hmmm...maybe a type of gilia?
A secluded beach is located at the Reserve	Hwy 1 bridge behind Dick
Yellow-tipped cream cups and poppies
Mendocino Coast Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja Mendocinensis) -- considered a very rare paintbrush found only in Mendocino County	Douglas Iris
Jungle Jim swinging from a Bishop Pine
The trail through the woodland is lined with hostas and redwood sorrel
The trail passes over three terraces with a wide variety of trees and plants
The red clintonias were in full bloom...
...as well as the wild rhododendrons
Fresh growth of corn lilies	The trail ends at the Pygmy Forest...
...where a new boardwalk meanders through a forest of dwarf trees and plants
