Bonnie's Trail

How do the trails in Curt Gowdy get named? I don't know who Bonnie is but the trail named for her is quite lovely and just a short walk from the Visitor's Center. I found a good place to set up my chair and supplies just off the pathway. You do need to be aware as you hike around this park because there are small cactuses growing among the rocks and sage. Of course the view I wanted to draw forced me to set up in-between two clumps.  After about an hour, I  completed a small colored pencil drawing in proportion to the box I planned on using for this piece. Just as I was packing up and minding the cactus, a young boy raced up the trail, climbed a boulder, looked out over the valley and exclaimed, " Look, it's so beautiful!" Yes it is and I was feeling blessed to be here.
