I returned to the Lost Palms Oasis Trail on a sunny spring day in March. Flora along the trail displayed bright spring colors. This trail lies in the Sonoran Desert section of the park - named the Colorado Desert in California. Ocotillo just started showing its colors and sprouting tiny leaves. Barrel cacti added some color, but their yellow flowers had passed by. Yucca, cholla, and pencil cholla cacti also lined the trail (see previous page). Other desert vegetation is scattered along the way.
