My zip guage thermometer read 50s in the shade, 60s in the sun today, in the sunny Labyrinth. I'm sure we will have to endure some more winter, but it is a nice reminder that spring is coming.
The waterfall on the old highway
the waterfall part way up the trail
I assume that it is called the labyrinth because the trails weave between these buttes
walking the plank
velociraptor?
in the distance
When I got back at about 1:30, there were 6 cars at the trailhead. That's more than I've ever seen there. Courtney Road had dozens. The area is getting more discovered.

Re: Labyrinth
Nice pictures - almost feels like spring. It's also time for the first wildflowers on that trail. Will definitely be some grass widows in a week if this weather holds.
I like that trail but don't go there often anymore; my dog picks up ticks no matter November of April. I rarely, if ever, picked any up there.

Great pictures Dean! That is most definitely a velociraptor!
Some people are really fit at eighty; thankfully I still have many years to get into shape…
Re: Labyrinth
A short distance to the east from where you "walked the plank" there was a patch of salt-and-pepper lomations in bloom. Not a particularly colorful display, but it was my first sighting of a spring wildflower for 2013. That was two weekends ago, so I suspect there are a few more of the plants in bloom now.
No sign of grass widow (and I was looking).
