This past weekend my co-worker Lindsey and I ventured out of Leavitt Lake (just east of Sonora Pass) down into Kennedy Canyon for a three-day backpack trip into the new western addition of the Hoover Wilderness and the Emigrant Wilderness. During this adventure we were treated to expansive alpine views of granitic and volcanic mountains, as well as an amazing abundance and diversity of wildflowers in bloom.
Based on our experience, I recommend getting out to the high country today (around 9000′) to enjoy an incredible wildflower season in its peak. Here are some photos highlighting our journey- be sure to share with us your own pictures and mountain adventures by commenting here or email me at: julias@cserc.org. Enjoy!

Thanks CSERC and CSERC bloggers for informing and delighting us with your research, expeditions and great photos. You take the “back” out of backcountry providing us with a solid connection to the natural world of which we are a part.
