Tin Mine Canyon is on the south side of the 91, exit Lincoln and meander back behind the newest Corona housing develpments....unfortunately!
We walked about 2 miles up the canyon over paths that were bumpy with large gravel, but fairly easy to hike.
We saw a lot of wildflowers including Miner's Lettuce, Milk Maids (green and white) and Rattlesnake Spurge with the teeeeeniest flowers I have ever seen(white against rocks).
We also saw stinging lupines, named for the prickly hairs that you can see on the stems and 
leaves (left).
On the way and when returning we saw lots of poppies and a hillside covered in purple...Chino Hills.

Gorgeous! Go wildflowering while you can...
Tennyson's poem says "Once in a golden moment I cast to earth a seed, up there came a flower, the people said a weed."

A wildflower, not a weed!
