Sunday, April 25, 2010 Trail Patrol on Old Rag.
MOUNTAIN AZALEAS (PINXTERS)
WERE JUST STARTING TO BLOOM
The forecast had called for rain but it turned out to be great weather. SNP was having a FEE FREE day. But because there had been rain forecast the parking lot only had about 30 cars in it and the mountain probably only had around 100 hikers on it this day. There were weekend winter days with deep snow that had more visitors.
A flutter of Swallowtails obtaining minerals from the mud. Not long after seeing these we walked through the middle of a different flutter(kaleidoscope, rabble, swarm, rainbow) of over a hundred yellow swallowtail butterflies that swirled all around us.
Looking up the Ridge Trail.

The summit of Old Rag.
The Old Rag Mountain Stewards (ORMS) are back on the mountain next week.
