Saturday's hike to easy Oakzanita was designed to attract those who were not up to a long day, and who wanted to get to Foster Lodge early to get some relaxation and refreshment among the pines in the clean mountain air. This seemed to go as planned. We 10 hikers were blessed with fine weather and a wildflower display along the trail. We were able to identify several species, thanks to Natalie Grunberg's expertise. With precise timing we encountered the HPS bicycle expedition at the trail junction just below the summit, so the 14 of us hiked to the peak together.
