After a heavy rain, the temperatures cooled last night and the night skies were filled with stars and intermittent clouds. Unfortunately a bit too cloudy to see the Perseid meteor shower, but we had a lovely moon with Jupiter hanging out nearby.
Today we decided to do another hike, the East Meadow Trail to explore the northern reaches of Heron Lake where Willow Creek pours into the lake.
We could see lots of sign of mule deer and elk, but alas, no actually deer or elk ... probably started out too late in the morning to catch them. However, we did find the spinal column remains ...
And, we did find a cute baby horned lizard ...
... lots of flowers perked up by the rains ...
The views were lovely ... and again, we hiked back before the next rain storm came through the valley ...
