There is a superbloom of many varieties of native flowers blooming on both sides of the Rocky Ridge loop trail right now.

Golden Yarrow (Eriophyllum confertiflorum) A.k.a. Yellow Yarrow. Native, perennial, small shrub in the Asteraceae family that grows 50–70 cm (up to 28 inches) tall in dry, chaparral habitat. It has bright golden yellow flower heads at the end of long branching peduncles. It is sometimes confused with Lizard Tail (Eriophyllum staechadifolium), but can be distinguished by its smaller leaves, white-tomentose stems, and by the number of its ray flowers, typically 4-6 as compared to 6-9 for Lizard Tail. It is more commonly found inland than by the coast. Peak bloom time: April-August. The local Monterey County subspecies that is listed in the following references is Eriophyllum confertiflorum confertiflorum.
