California Wildflowers, Rancho Seco Howard Ranch Trail

The Rancho Seco Howard Ranch Trail is an easy walking trail with gentle rolling hills as you make your way through the grassland. The trail stretches about 7 miles roundtrip around the Racho Seco Lake. It is located 25 miles southeast of the Sacramento area, off of Highway 104.

Poppies are beginning to blanket the area in patches as if a painter dolloped the landscape with a paintbrush. Also, vernal pools are forming and you can hear the ribbits of frogs as you pass by. It was a tranquil walk today… as I passed only a couple of fisherman as they made their way around the lake.
