A little further at CLY2 it is unclear which trail to take. We went left, and this turned out to be the correct choice. The soil is red, then suddenly it becomes yellow, with a sharp contrast between the two. There are also more signs that horses use this trail, although we did not see any on tour hike. On our second hike of this trail, a sign had appeared indicating this was the horse bypass trail.

At this junction, we saw this Santa Fe Phlox (Phlox nana).
