Mormon Metal-mark butterfly (Apodemia mormo); there were a LOT of these pretty little butterflies along the trail. I had to be careful in some areas to watch my step so as not to damage any.

A two-day 50-mile hike to condition myself and test techniques for a John Muir Trail hike in July. An interesting area I had never hiked in before.
