Re: Quick weekend trip to Rancheria Falls
I'm planning to road trip about the Hetch Hetchy zone this coming weekend as I often try to do at this time of year. It is one of the very few Sierra areas in the 3k to 5k elevation range that usually has the last vestiges of late spring wildflowers. However I usually don't hike across the dam and if I don't go beyond Wapama. There are a number of no name spots I park along roads and wander out with topo into the digger pine granitoid landscapes where little terraced basins often hold many species. Would be nice if they manage some thunderstorms in the next few days as is possible in order to push out more goldfields.
