The flower heads were used to card wool back before carding combs, that's how tough they are.
Except for the Teasel, I didn't spot any plants that were new to me, just old familiars like this Pacific Hound's Tongue, which we have a lot of on our own street. Such a cheery flower, and that vibrant blue-purple is always a welcome sight.
At the very end of the trail was what looked like an old water catchment, it had a concrete base and some old pipes. Who knows why it's still there?
It was a 2.5 mile hike, mostly exposed, so not a good hot summer day hike for me, we'll be back to check out some of the other trails available here.
