Ever since I “discovered” the Highway 49 wildflower bounty between Coulterville and Mariposa last Spring, I have been waiting eagerly for an opportunity to revist this glorious area. If you haven’t been yet, wait no more and get out there today! The variety of foothill wildflowers range from a multitude of chinese houses, poppies, popcorn flower, brodiea, monkeyflowers, jewelweed, fairy lanterns and so much more. 
What makes going right now even better is the large amount of rainfall we have received has every possible drainage showing off with its own unique cascade or waterfall to wander along and explore. Here are a few images from my trip yesterday to tantalize your flower loving tastebuds. If you have any questions about where to go, please be sure to let me know!
One word of caution: there is poison oak, so know what it looks like to avoid it!
