Castle Peak Botanical Treasures

Here are some botanical highlights of a late spring field trip to the Castle Pea…
Though you may encounter native plants throughout most of the undeveloped areas of Placer and Nevada Counties, easy access is not always a given. Luckily our area offers year-round opportunities to discover new places to hike and learn about our native flora. The following places are some of our favorite local sites to see plants. (Note: One or two are on private property, not open to the public, only for hikes specifically arranged in advance by non-profits such as Redbud Chapter. Please respect this.)
This list is a work in progress, so make sure to visit again for updates!
