These are coming back pretty quick after the significant fire of 8/2005. The live oak, sumac, and most of the chaparral are coming back with new shoots. It will be a number of years before it gets as lush as it once was. The flowers just perking out...first on the south slopes and later on the more shady north slopes. Mountain lupine and mustard in abundance. The Wildwood hike rather steep...a quick 1600 foot elevation gain in .8 mile thereabouts. The Stough fire road more gradual.
