WildLink Trip to Table Mountain Wildflowers
Fifteen students spent a marvelous Saturday making the 3.8 mile round trip hike to the top of Table Mountain near Jamestown, CA. The mountain is great example of inverted topography - the result of an 10.5-million year old lava flow filling the ancestral Stanislaus River Canyon. Since the lava flow, erosion stripped away the softer canyon walls and left behind the flat-topped mesa with amazing vernal pools and wildflowers!
