To get to this area, you exit I-5 onto Frazier Mountain Park Road at the southern part of Lebec and head west to a left turn onto Lockwood Valley at Cuddy Creek, then go south. I made several trips to this area and the flora was great due to a recent fire. An upside-down V next to the common name indicates a taxon that was new to me when I photographed it on this field trip. |
