Sandy S is on a distinguished road
Default White Mt. Wildflowers

The best roadside flowers at White Mt. are on the dirt road between Schulman and Patriarch Groves. Today in bloom in numbers were Red Penstemon, Lupine, Coyote Mint, a Senecio, Paintbrush, a matted Phlox, and Showy Penstemon. I also had two sightings of Marmot near the Schulman Grove.

At the Patriarch Grove in addition to the Bristlecone Pines, there are a number of tiny flowers that are only for macro photography. I was able to identify Rosy Buckwheat or Butterballs, Alpine Paintbrush, Dwarf Alpine Daisy, two yellow aster-type composites, two species of Astragalus, and Flax. There were also White-breasted Nuthatches visiting the Bristlecone Pines.
