Tanbark Tunnel to Bull Gap – Virtual Field Trip!

Posted on September 1, 2024 by WCBC

History of Rattlesnake Lodge

We haven’t had a chance to walk the Tanbark to Bull Gap trail this year – too much other good stuff to see elsewhere, so here’s a virtual field trip.  It’s a perfect day out there – not too hot, no rain or thunder, and the Fringed Campion in full bloom.

After a very dry & dusty June & early July we were fortunate that a bunch of recent rain perked up the plants for our visit. Photography by Ken Borgfeldt & Penny Longhurst.
