Verdugo Mountain Blooms

by Modern Hiker on March 2, 2009

I had a late start on Sunday, but it was so gorgeous outside that I still wanted to get a few trail miles in, so I headed up to the southern end Verdugo Mountains between Glendale and Burbank for a quick trek up the Beaudry Fire Road.

I was surprised to see that the area along both the north and south roads have several patches of very nice wildflower blooms — and a few more that look like they’ll be ready to pop any day, now.

My full write up might not be posted for a little while, but if you’ve got some free time, head to the intersection of Beaudry Road and Beaudry Terrace in Glendale and just head on up the fire roads!

what are those daisy-like flowers?

On Flickr, someone theorized they were errant gazanias that had found their way up the mountain.

These are gorgeous shots. I’m using one as my desktop wallpaper. Does anyone know how to get more info. on the trail/fire roads at the east end of Glenoaks Canyon in Glendale?
