Stagecoach Hill Azalea Nature Trail
Humboldt Lagoons State Park
(Map link.)
The rhododendrons were infrequent and sparse and I was expecting a little more from them. It is possible that I have unrealistic expectations, but I decided to stop by the azaleas on the way back. It's just an extra mile or two of driving and a half mile walk. I had even greater expectations for the azaleas than I had for the rhododendrons. I started at the parking by the sign and passed quickly through the Sitka spruce, taking the right at the fork for the loop to get to the azaleas that much faster.
The azaleas did not disappoint.
There are a few other flowers that are showy enough to grab a little bit of my attention.
It took a while, but eventually my round through the stand of azaleas was over and I wandered back through the spruce.
I wasn't done admiring the azaleas. I stopped at some secondary parking for another angle on the whole of the stand.
Low effort and lots of reward. That definitely made me happy.
