Mayflower to Clinton Gulch Loop Trail

The view down the jeep trail is beautiful.  Views of Fletcher Mountain, Atlantic and Pacific Peaks are spectacular.  Rather quickly you run into old mining buildings and holes.

 The wildflowers as always are pretty nice.

Fairy Primrose

 Globeflower:

 A little ways down the trail you come across the old Boston Mine cabins.  We had fun exploring inside them.

The kids liked checking out the pit toilet of the cabin above.
