Thanks to all who came and endured 4 hours in the Mock van for 2 hours of sand and desert (and plants and dog tracks and astounding views and rocks and funny tourists – and a pit toilet.)
Below are a bunch of photos. We weren’t able to identify most of the little plants we found. Unfortunately, it was a little too early in the spring to really see some significant growth to where we could tell what we were looking at. However, we caught the big three: Juniper, Pinyon Pine, and Mormon Tea. Still, for all the plants we were eventually able to identify, I’ve added labels on the photos.
For those who didn’t come, we are sorry we missed you! It was a really fun (and really long – thank you Expanding Horizon’s class movie night and interim park hang out!) day.
