A friend was walking her dogs when she came upon an area loaded with butterflies, so she sent me a video. I hopped in my car and drove straight to the trail, counting over 200 puddling butterflies from 1-3PM. All of the Swallowtails and Fritillaries were very fresh. What a great first visit to this location!
