Rain & Snow brings Colorful Spring Bloom…

Are you ready?  Experience has shown that  good soaking rains and yesterday’s snow will lead to a very colorful spring bloom.  Depending on the amount of rain and the depth of water soaking in we could see flowers and grasses that have been dormant for the past several years.  The forecast for the next week or two gives us hope of more rain and now is the time.  My good friend, Jim the botanists , has told me this truth over the last several years. He is a park planner for the NPS, plus was born and raised here.

So the point of this post is to get you fired up for the spring bloom of 2009.  Should start in mid-March and last through May.death-valley-flowers-22605-009-3

You can do you part by going out on the trail on every cloudy day and do the River Mountains “raindance”.

The River Mountains

The River Mountains Loop Trail detour will begin 8/4/25 and last for 30 days to install waterline adjacent to the RMLT between reservoirs R7 &R12 (approx. 2,500 feet) along with two trail crossings. The waterline trench is within a few feet of the edge of trail and would pose a hazard to the trail traffic being in close proximity to the open trench and equipment. Several options were considered by the City of Henderson, and the attached detour was selected as the safest and easiest physically option to the public while keeping the trail functional and on similar pavement. ...
