Trail Description: We hadn't been to Las Posadas for about two years. Little had changed in this demonstration forest except us perhaps. We took the main road in past the fire station towards the 4H camp. Being slightly later in the season, we could see some dried remains from previous blooms, but there were still an abundance of flowers.
