The 5-car parking lot at the trailhead was full, so I walked around the trails at the nearby rest area, then went back to the trailhead. The puddling spot had dried up, but many butterflies, particularly blue species, still gathered at the sunny corner on the trailhead. There were two aberrant blue butterflies.
