Schaeffer Meadow Trail to Stony Meadow

Kern Plateau, Tulare County

8-10 June 2003

A work related backpacking trip to the Kern Plateau to look for sensitive species produced some more spectacular wildflowers. I will scan the slides after they are developed and hopefully add more for your pleasure. I appreciate the Forest Service allowing me the time to stop and smell and photograph the flowers.
