Lupine grows along the trail in the spring in areas where the sun can make it to the forest floor.

The Old Big Oak Flat Road continues to Hodgdon Meadow as it passes through the Tuolumne Grove.
Deer Brush encroaches on the trail, so thick that in some places you have to push through it or bushwhack. You can also see how there are downed trees and limbs, so watch where you step!

Nature always finds a way. You can see how the water finds its way downstream despite obstacles being in the way. Now the creek flows over the trail in order to make its way downhill.
The creek floors the road in the spring. The only way across is to walk through the water, which isn't deep but your shoes will get wet!
As you can see, large trees cover the trail and make a sort of obstacle course that you have to navigate on the hike. You can also see how the road is starting to wear away due tress falling, melting snow, and other environmental factors.
As you enter the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, you encounter one of these giants. This nice thing about this area is most people don't venture down here, so you can enjoy your time without being crowded by other visitors.
A Giant Sequoia as you enter the grove. It's a huge tree with wide root system to help absorb water.
