Bernardin Lake Wildflower Hike

We'll hike a lovely trail that follows Rito de la Olla about 5 miles to Bernardin Lake (may be dry). Known for its wildflower-filled meadows, the hike starts at 8600 feet and has an elevation change of about 850 feet, usually with few hikers. It's a 90 minute ride to the trailhead, so let's meet at the White Rock Y at 7 a.m. to beat the heat and arrange for carpooling. If all hikers are interested, we may stop for a mid-afternoon dinner at 5-Star where any pooches are welcome on the patio.
