Stevens Trail Wildflowers
by Sarah Nitta
On a beautiful spring day the week after Easter my son, Joel, and I took a day off to visit the splendors of Stevens Trail, Colfax, CA. We wound down the north side of the North Fork of the American River to the hum of insects and the welcome of wild flowers. Here are a few samples for your enjoyment. It’s time to get back and see what is new!
