  snow_mt_ranch1.jpg - The Snow Mountain Ranch trail ascends a canyon and climbs to the top of Cowiche Mountain (2968') for a birds-eye view of the neighborhood. The main trail is in the heart of some prime shrub-steppe with a large variety of native wildflowers and many nice lithosol areas loved by many of the early species. This view taken from near the trail, looking toward the West in early February, before this Sagebrush land starts to come alive with bloom. The early bloom is well underway by mid-March as the wildflowers start their annual progression toward the hot Summer. In 2009 new trail markers were added and now you can visit the hot wildflower spots by hiking the various trails.
