Stevens Trail

Fairy Lanterns
 Four of us hiked the slightly over 8 miles with an elevation gain of between one and two thousand feet.  The wildflowers were strongly in bloom although we didn't see any blooming Redbud trees.  The weather was perfect as there was a cool breeze on that hot southern slope.  We remained at the river for a leisurely lunch before hoofing it back up.
