Stunning desert bloom and a stream in late April

Highly recommend this terrific hike (in a region with very few dog-friendly hikes). Click through from BringFido to the hike website for specific directions, otherwise hard to find. Keep driving until the road is blocked by a gate. That is the trail -head. Our low-clearance car did fine (going slowly on a couple of short rough spots). Our dog frolicked in the stream (on-leash, as there are rattlesnakes and other dangers). The 1.6 mile hike to the “stone house” is a stunning well-maintained trail, a gentle climb, Clean bathroom at the stone house, along with info about the preserve.
