Beautiful foliage. | ||
On the Quicksilver Express roller coaster, there were some adorable miners who were warning us not to go on the ride! | ||
It's a little hard to tell, but the leaves on this tree were pink and green ... amazing! | ||
In her teens, Ana used to hike with her friends in the Quicksilver mines of New Almaden. This is some of the history of that area. | ||
More historical info. | ||
The mining ceased in 1970, so the hike could go on later that decade. | ||
This coral bougainvillea was amazingly brilliant. | ||
Ana was hoping this was a butterfly garden, but it wasn't. But it was still beautiful. | ||
