Earth Day 2007

We avoided another rainy Sunday and took off to Auburn, California. Where we celebrated Earth Day by hiking the trails and dodging an unusual amount of mountain bikers. The trail was very easy and there where great scenes of water and cliffs. They had plenty of wildflowers growing amongst the grasses and rocks.

There where also these odd flowers that where growing out of the rocks. I tried to grab one but it wanted to stubbornly stay attached to the rocks. Does anyone know the name of these flowers?
