Leader: Naomi Fraga. Walker Pass is a mountain pass in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Field trip attendees will carpool from the meeting spot and park along Hwy 178 at a floriferous spot in the eastern portion of the pass. We will see a variety of desert annuals including and abundance of Linanthus, and Eriophyllum species. Other noteworthy plants along the way may include and desert pinchusions (Chaenactis), sun cups (Camissonia), and the ever elusive pygmy poppy (Canbya candida). Bring lunch, ample water, sunscreen and a camera (hiking will be minimal). We will meet at the Inyokern Post office 9:30 am and should arrive back in the early afternoon. Carpooling from the post office is encouraged, and we will only be traveling on paved roads. Contact Naomi Fraga for details. </p>
