Today we’ll explore the western flattish section of this bar which contains a number of ponds and temporary shallow pool areas. Most of the trails in this area are used by horses but there might be sections with river cobble footing. While oaks and cottonwoods offer some shady sections most of the walk will be sunny. Native plants bloom include Eriogonum gracile, Holocarpha virgata, Madia elegans, Phyla nodiflora var. rosa, Pseudognaphalium beneolens and Trichostema lanceolatum.  We’ll head west along old Main St then head back east along parts of the bike path and horse trails and finally wander back a large open area which contains some shallow ponds that host some plants found more in vernal pools and end near the parking area.
